Default Those thick-azzed double open end wrenches....

For lathes? Many of them in a pronounced "S" configuration.....

I've got a ton of these now, some of them quite substantial, 1 foot long,
1/2" thick at the ends.

In principle the same as Sears wrenches, but black iron, really bulky, but
nicely made.
Still, not very practical, it seems. Sears combination wrenches are all I
ever use.

Any value to these? Scrap'em??

General old Billings heavy duty wrenches do not bring much money, but
they are awesome to use, especially if you clean them up and polish
the sides of the head.

There are some jobs where chrome plated tools are forbidden, because of
the risk of plating chipping or flaking off and falling into the work.
