I am trying to find a full polish, long pattern Stanley 19mm combination wrench to compliment an existing set.
I cannot at gunpoint decipher their numbering system. For example: the 15mm is # 85-665, the 17mm is 85-668, 18mm is 89-454
Try to use a progression from either of the prefixes gets me nowhere, usually a set of several(none 19MM) is found.
I really like these wrenches, they feel good in hand and have taken a beating.
Does anyone here have these wrenches that could give the # for a 19mm so I at least have asomething to search with? Using a descriptionisn't working, I've waded through hundreds of unrelated wrenches and wrench sets.
Thanks and fingers crossed

This group never ceases to amaze me with all their esoteric knowledge.
The 85-652 isn't long pattern but the 85-669* looks like a winner, the other wrenches in the set shown match up with my existing ones.
Now to find it, goose egg so far.
Thanks to GeoBruin and allnc100!
* so, 17mm is 85-668, 18 is 89-454 and 19 is 85-669. Makes perfect sense:rolleyes:

Are the other wrenches marked with a COO?

Looks like Stanley still makes these for the domestic Chinese market.

No, they are not so certainly not USA, likely are China or Taiwan.
I bought mine as a 10 pc. set, 8-18 skipping 16, from a swap meet, new in a shelf worn package, at least 10 years ago for around $20.
Among the best $20 buys I've ever made. Great wrenches wherever they came from.

^ as long as $ doesn't get crazy I might. I've not found them at all, sans the backordered set in post #3 above.
This is something I'd like to have match but not obsessed with the notion. I've done without a matching one for over a decade.

Sorry, I assumed you were referring to the USA Stanly wrenches with the ASD feature like the Proto or Blackhawk.
