5,197 wrenches, huh? Gonna have to let this one go...

 

[wilbilt]

Yeah, that's a lot of wrenches. Still, I am drawn like a moth to a flame...

Looks like 125 complete sets, plus hundreds of extras.

 

[lbgradwell]

I'll take 1 set, if you want to pick up the other 124...

considering that I've seen those sets for sale for $29.99, then factoring in the time to package and ebay it etc and it's really not that great of a deal. Then again, I'd assume that it would go for $3k then figure on 300 for truck shipping of pallet etc. Those deals are always tempting though. We need a deal like that on Lista cabinets

Stanley Proto...I'll pass on that and stay with my Cman Pros

 

[rsanter]

been cleaning through my garage and tools. I had some rought looking Cman wrenches that I am not using (they are spares) so I thought I would take them in for exchange. I asked the girl (very cute girl)if I could pay the difference and get the other ones (Cman pros). she said 'whats the difference" so I told her the other othe are shiney and that I like shiney things.
she said ok and exchanged mine for those.

now I have more usable wrenches

Might work if we were all in the same city, but...

...I told her the others are shiney and that I like shiney things. she said ok and exchanged mine for those.

You see, she likes shiny things too, so she could relate. She probably liked useless **** like diamonds, though. Unless they're on my saw blades, that is...

That's what I was thinking... the seller is Stanley-Proto, but it looks like the wrenches that are up for auction are the Stanley Walmart specials. Am i wrong???

It looks that way. At least one of the bidders on that auction is also an eBay seller that I have bought from in the past.

All of the Stanley/Proto items I bought were US-made, so these may be as well.

 

[Danglerb]

Only 125 complete sets possible, nearly 1000 each of 6mm and 7mm.

Sure ***** to be a stanley retailer right now.

Are the Walmart specials the polished professionals that don't mention proto? There are 13 piece sets on e-dumpster for <$30. They "look" ok but I'm wondering if they're any better than Craftsman raised panels.

Those are your typical shiny Chinese wrenches. For serious tools, and only for a few $$$ more, just go buy Craftsman Professional. Save the Staneys for the road kit.
