    Pretty unique to me , an 11/16 wrench that is over 17” long. Have you seen these? Were they for a special purpose other than lots of torque?

    Has there ever been a thread about the worst quality tools you ever saw?

    Dug out this combination set that might be from the 70’s -80’s?? And the more I looked at it the worse it got. Every single piece said “Japan” on it. The cheapest looking poorest quality stamped wrenches and sockets. The plastic pouches were kinda cool, and I liked the little pry bar...

    Got this strange looking hammer from my dad’s things. Initially I thought maybe home made because the round face has no crown. It’s flat. And no markings. Any idea ??

    Going thru some of Dads old stuff. What I believe is an early MAC wrench. Seems pretty primitive. Looks like it was painted or coated black

    Is this a tool? decoration? Or ?

    My coworker sent me these pics. An interesting piece. What looks like a hammer head on one end and a hook on the other. But there’s no hole for a handle. We’re pretty stumped. It does look like it might be worn on the inside of the hook. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    interesting 1880-ish Diamond wrench

    picked this today, its has a broken jaw but when i saw the Nov 2, 1880 patent date i figured i should grab it. Not much different from the adjustable wrenches of the time, except for the "speed handle" . From my patent searching it looks like it was patented by the Portland Wrench in 1880...
