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?? -- EA |

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. i |
