Old wrench id?

The Original Fisho · May 17, 2015

I found a set of metric offset box end wrenches at a garage sale yesterday. Never heard of the manufacturer was hoping someone has some insight.

I got the set for $20 which I think was a fair deal. Thanks.

Durachrome? Duro/Indestro would be my guess.

I get Durcrom which I haven't seen before. Is there a coo marked on them. Anything stamped on the other side? It's nice that they don't skip any sizes.

Looks like you scored big though, a google search turns up links for Ferrari Lamborghini Maserati tools.

I found the link to Maserati ferrari and Lamborghini as well. May very well be as close as i ever get to any of them. The other side is in the photo below. The other side is spelled durcrom.

there is a stamping that says usag in the diamond logo between vanadium and extra

Thanks I guess the manufacturer was usag, not durcrom like I thought.

Several years ago USAG advertised that they supplied the Ferrari factory w/ their assembly tools. Although they're not heavily chromed (unlike most of their US counterparts), they are good quality hand tools. I've been fortunate to pick up a few over the years.

Durcrom was a Spanish (or Argentinian?) tool maker that went out of business in the 2000's, pretty sure about it

Here's one like in your set for sale in Buenos Aires:

on this one, the 3rd from the right is Durcrom:

another one in Montevideo, no pic but a Durcrom Nº 252 is listed:

hope you speak some Spanish, lol
Sweet wrenches, but no Ferrari... I'll take them from you if you don't want them :evil:
