Orenco Wrenches

[cruiser808]

Yesterday, a long time Euro parts supplier and friend gave me a set of Swedish double Saltus wrenches that he had sitting around at his shop. Nothing special about the fit and finish and certainly not on par with my Snappy's. The wrenches are typical satin finish with polished ends. Kinda Looks like Craftsman style without the raised panels. Anyone know about this brand?

google and yahoo sweden comes up with zip! Have a pic or what other markings are on the wrenches (names, patent #'s etc)?

Will try to do. The only thing other than the brand "Orenco" is quote, "chrom vanadium" and the sizes of the sockets. Believe me, I've tried. If it was easy, I wouldn't have posted to this learned group.

There's a town about 90 minutes outside Stockholm called Eskilstuna. It was a renowned centre for knife & toolmaking, and I believe you will find Orenco was based there...
