Napa flare Nut wrenches...

[Paladin]

Are they Danaher made?

 

[krusty the clown]

AFAIK they are

 

[Fedwrench]

Yes, the satin finished ones are rebadged KD wrenches.

 

[Paladin]

Cool, thanks. Just curious, mostly. I found a set (full polish) I can get my hands on for around $30. I think I'll hold out for a set of SO, since everyone here speaks so highly of the SO line wrenches.

 

[Fedwrench]

If they're full polished, they may be napa's evercraft brand or possibly rebadged Armstrong but, that's only a long distance guess without seeing them.
There really is no substitute for the Snap on Flare nut wrenches. They got it right.

I've got a couple of older Napa wrenches that are exactly the same as some Easco's I have- except they say "Napa" instead of "Easco"...

If they say "Evercraft" on them then they're Chinese or Taiwanese.

Yup Easco was the original supplier to Craftsman and NAPA. When they went out of business Danaher took over. For the ultimate line wrench find an older Proto. Wide open end wrench on one end and the flare nut end on the other. Way superior to all others.

These aren't Evercraft. They are badged Napa USA.

They be Danaher then.

I think Danaher acquired both Esco and Moore Drop Forge. Prior to that Esco and Moore made Craftsman and NAPA wrenches.

I have to agree with ya on the Proto wrenches. Been using Proto hand tools for years. Always been happy.
