I'm a little suspicous that all of a sudden new wright tools are popping up everywhere. Over the years the only write tools ive seen where like a hunderd years old, I figured the write tool company went out of bussiness. In the last six months ive seen them show up in my shop, one of my tool...

Got a set of bp racheting combo wrenches in a tool box plus tools buy form a pawn shop not long ago. The set is missing the 7/16 and has an extra 1/2 wrench. I'll trade the 1/2 wrench for the 7/16 or buy from you. Wrenches are in new condition. Thanks
