Does anyone who makes these? They look like a bit like bahco wrenches.

They look A LOT like the Stanleys with the foam dipped handles available at your local WalMart.

If there is not a country of origin on it, its probably taiwan. Even the euro made tools from mac have the coo on it. My mac guy used to know that I didn't buy taiwan stuff so when i used to go on his truck, he would let me know where stuff was made.

Funny that they actually call them "no rattle".

Looks like/close to Bahco; coo used to be Sweden, now Spain.

Haven't really bought any new/Spanish made Bahco stuff, but it seems like the coo is usually on the labels instead of the tools. Could be wrong.

Stanley owns Facom and they do resemble them. If so it would likely be French or Italian.

You can get a Proto click stop set for almost half that.

I guess ill be the one who asks this..What is a no rattle adjustable, compared to a regular adjustable?

I guess that's the cleverest term they could coin to advertise a tight fitting jaw. Quality adjustables don't rattle anyway.

You are right. On Spanish made Bahco it says "made in Spain" on the packaging or label. Swedish made is stamped on the tool.

They do look a bit like Bahcos (or the other Snap-on brands that rebrands them), but might as well be a copy.

Looks almost identical to gray Canada ones. Probably the same company

Proto Click Stop adjustable's are the best I have ever used.

Thank you Brother and to you as well!

Proto built the old Click Stop wrenches and probably builds these too. I have Mac and Proto wrenches from 15 years ago that are identical.

My snappy 8" rattles like crazy, and those pics look just like the Gray brand that I have, but I do not know COO. And they rattle way less then snappy one! These Gray ones are good, I highly recommend them!

These wrenches are made by a company in Taiwan called Proxene, they are excellent quality wrenches, if you check out their website you will many familiar wrenches there.

Proxene Tools Co., Ltd. website. Intro is sort of amusing. http://www.proxene.com.tw/

Looking at the proxene site the Gray adjustable jaws look like the HP model, but i cannot see the rest of the wrench handle. The proxene site wants a login. I am more then happy with my Gray adjustables. Have 8", 10" and 12". The 8" stays home, the other two in the service/road box.

 

[soulstryke]

I use my adjustables daily have never broke a Proto clickstop or Crescent adjustable. They get lost or stolen about once a year ><

Got to agree about the Proto, not sure what makes giving up 120 for those appealing.
