I think you started a beast Krusty! Last I checked this was just starting it's 2nd page, and that was all of 8 hours ago...
Bonney wrenches are some of the best ever made! I have had the pleasure of using my Uncle's a time or two, he guards them with his life.

yes they do
Wished I would have seen this thread when that auction was live, I would have probably bought them to give them a try.

Well since everybody is showing off their Bonney's I'll post some pics of a set I got off ebay last month for a buy it now of $37.Not combos but double open end metrics.I was looking for metric open ends and these just popped up in the search.Not shiney but satin finish but I like them for that kinda money.

Currently I have the Metric standard WC, Metric Long WC, and SAE Long WC wrenches. All are the 13 piece sets.
I also had complete sets of the Snap-on combinations in all sizes.
I went back and forth about which to sell back in August.....here is the post for the metric standard for 100 shipped:

After not getting any interest in the Matcos, I ended up selling the snap-on. It was a toss up as to which I like best.

Yes they did and you can imagine how sweet they were.
I must see some pictures!
What was the part number prefix? WCXL?

Did both Bonney and Matco offer them?
Are they really, really hard to come by these days on the 2nd hand market?

I'm about 95% sure Bonney only made the EX-longs for Matco.
i will bump another bonney thread up for you klars1 that has some more pics. it is from earlier this week.
Anybody have any? I would like to see pics and see what the part number prefix is...
Anyone know if it is WCXL? (That is just a guess)
Anyone have any WCL or WCXL for sale? PM me if you do.

correct, they will be WCXL.
i can scan a catalog page for you but the pics won't do justice. they are the same beam and roughly 1 1/2" longer.
i'm still looking for a WCL10m2,WCL15m2,WCL18m2 and WC122 myself.
Krusty - I would REALLY appreciate seeing a scan of the catalog page(s) of the WC series wrenches. Hopefully the lengths are listed too.
Thanks for the confirmation on the WCXL...
