Speed-Hed ratcheting wrenches.

Screw Me! Try Me!

Thought it was too cool. Always fun to play around with wrench and bolt display in Sears or wherever.

Thinks how few of those display cards must have survived.

Nice find and nice collection.

I thought so Woody. One of those things that was hard to pass up.

Yeah, can’t imagine a ton are out there still. The wrenches came with it. Now I’ll have to be on the lookout for the missing sizes. I might have some loose ones, but who knows where they are at the moment.

That display is really cool. I recently found a couple more of the Speed-Hed wrenches. I think I probably have 4 or 5 of them now.

What fun could be had with one of those in a 'man cave'! There's several double meaning jokes there... Maybe someone will be selling reproduction ones on e bay soon.

Agreed, it is quite funny, the word choice then (50’s I think). Today’s sign would be a little bit different.

Don- thanks for the added wrench photos. I realized afterward that I forgot closeups of the wrench markings.
