Swap meet find

[NinnyCTSV]

So was at the swap meet and stumbled on a set of USA made husky double box from the late 90s. They are some quality looking wrenches, but can’t seem to find any info on them. By any chance, anyone know who made them? Part number for the 6 piece set is 45008

Sorry I cant help on who there made by but....
Those have gotta be the nicest set of Husky wrenches ive ever seen !
Id of been all over them too.

I’m really interested to know if there’s a matching metric set. They really are amazing quality.

Didn't New Britain make the Husky USA?

They were made by several subcontractors, western forge, ironbridge,stanley all come to mind

Nice looking wrenches. Would be worth keeping and using.

I got a bunch of sockets today, sorted them and threw several Husky USA in with the chinese scrap metal. Probably most of a set. Just get used to thinking of them as HD asian and discarding them. I guess I could look at them closer, but then I'd have to find someone that is interested in them and that's hard to do.

Western forge made alot of stuff for craftsman
Ironbridge is more recent, actually filed chapter 11 couple years ago. These look more like western forge to me.

They did but long before Home Depot bought the brand, I don't believe NB ever used that logo either. My guess is Stanley,
