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

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.:rocker:
