Martin Angle (hydraulic) Wrenches

[VH5150]

Anyone out there liking their Martin Angle wrenches ? Been looking at these for years and now coughing up the dough to get my hands on them.

I have the new Tekton USA angle wrenches and I’m getting the individual Martins as toppers since Tekton stops at 3/4” and 19mm.

Here’s a pic of the new 1-1/4 that came in the mail today. Anxious to try em out!

I am scratching my head as tekton goes to 2" for 30/60 angle wrenches?

And the martins are 15/60's which just left me frustrated years ago when I started out with martins. I sure wish the tektons had the 30/60 before I bought my snap ons.

I bought a couple Martin crows foot style tools in jumbo size for working on ag stuff, seems like good quality.

Understood. But, the Tekton set I bought stopped at 3/4 and 19mm .. so, it was an excuse to get some Martins as well. More out of me wanting both versus a specific need at the moment. I was just curious too.. how many out there like or prefer the Martins.. since they aren’t seen as much.

Ok, I see. They were good strong wrenches, its just the angles on them ****.

They skinny? I run into lines often that a regular wrench is too fat.

I like their service wrenches, but I'm not a fan of the angle wrenches.

Ive been spoiled by the modern 30/60.

I like Martin stuff. Stout and strong.

I only have Martin Check Nut Wrenches.
I would not call the wrenches pretty.
I do like the feel in my hand.
I needed one or two sizes for locations were my Craftsman Tappet wrenches would not fit.
The wrenches seem sturdy.
You can check the Martin Catalog for maximum head thickness.
While I do like “Shiny” wrenches, I don’t think I would object to other Martin wrenches.
