Geez, KC. A lot of nice stuff to just be arbitrarily put out to pasture.

the pics of the broken SK 7/8 combo wrench:

this occured during the loosening of a stubborn nut by an operator of a flexographic machine.

no cheater bar was placed, just excessive elbow grease. pretty wierd yes.

Just picked these up, and I thought it was curious that Wright also had this design:

I look forward to them exploding as soon as they touch their first nut.

Matco open end angle wrenchs still have the "v" opening.

LOL coming from a snap-on dealer. Thats funny.

Has anyone here seen a matco wrench break because of the v notch. Me either. You guys crack me up.

Looks like I will be buying all my matco's from ebay now to get the good ones.

My matco wrenches are my favorite wrenches even over my snap-ons.



That would explain it then.

The Romans proved that the arch is stronger.
