Is this Craftsman wrench bent?

1/2"x9/16" offset box, looks like the 1/2" end has a bit more offset?

It looks like it is bent.

I would say Yes . . . . wrench has been abused to point of bending it.

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

It looks bent to me.

 

[1982fxr]

imo yes. any witness marks from prying?

 

[930dreamer]

I have this listed on ebay, someone asked if it was bent but I was out of town. Looking at it now it looks bent, I added a note in the auction about it

It was probably used as a cheater.

It's appearing to be bent to me, unless you are taking a picture through a fun house mirror

 

[mailpup]

It's bent, that one end at least. I have that same raised panel, old style box end wrench (1/2" x 9/16"). The box ends should be parallel to each other. Yours are way off.

 

[panknuckshovel]

wrench is fine, picture is just over-straight

 

[930dreamer]

It slipped through my QC.

Also vote drink best avatar

 

[marinusdees]

Yes.

You're bent ... the wrench is perfectly fine.
Sorry, this is my first post. I'm still trying to get the hang of it.
The wrench is bent earlier on the right side than the left.

Its bent, unless CM make a ring spanner with two different offset angles i dont know about.

 

[barrybeefburger]

It might be bent but not from abuse, it would have a left/right bend if abused, that looks like an up/down bend, probably done for better access to a fastner.

I have one exactly like it... I bent it to reach the upper shock bolts on GM A body cars. Early to mid 70's Chevelles and Monte Carlo's And their brethren... Haven't used it in a while but it's still in the drawer.

That's what I was thinking. I love how people jump to conclusions on here.

I took a little time to locate an old 1971 Sears catalog picture of some Craftsman wrenches. If your wrench is supposed to look like the box-end wrench in the photo then I would say it is way out of shape.

Can you believe the 1971 catalog says these wrenches exceeded federal spec?
