Need Pry Bar Identification Assistance

[MrJason]

First, I did a fair share of scouring numerous threads to attempt to find this for myself.

Couldn't find it, so I need your help.

A racer friend of mine, uses these for his team and loves them. They aren't name brand, he bought them in a Michigan swap meet.

He's looked everywhere on the tool, and can't find any marks or brand names.

So, I bet him $20 that my friends at Garage Journal could ID these.

Any help you all can provide would be appreciated.

Jason

Here is a better shot.

Mac. I have some

EDIT: ****...I was wrong! :tard: My Macs are slightly different.

EDIT AGAIN: these look like them...does that say TECOS? Dude is in Sweden though??? Last pic is from his post here.... http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3271081

I think they have gearwrench look?

 

[MrJason]

They look like a Gearwrench, but I have a hard time thinking that a MAC bar went for $25 each at a swap meet.

None the less, I'll look into it.

 

[Mohawk Dave]

Where are you guys seeing Gearwrench that look like these? I googled but found nada....

I bought a Mac with the old translucent handle in like new condition for $15 at a shop auction. Flea marketers, and swap meters don't all price stuff at retail, just the ones that don't want to sell stuff.

More based upon the handle colorization, than anything else.

Well, I did some digging and they may be Mac after all. Mac had a set that were styled damn close to what we're seeing in the picture- and then it was redesigned.

I think we've gotten an answer on this.

Thanks!

Thanks Mohawk Dave. The pictures tell me that it damn near has to be a Mac bar, or at least a close knock off. I do appreciate your pictures and post on this!

CPB4R would be my guess for the set in dave's post but the newer versions have MAC on the handles.

the mac all ways had red stripes into the base of the handle where the set pictured in OP's doesn't and they would have the part number some where on them.

T&E tools has a set that looks similar to the first post but they have the name on the handle and bar in all the pics I could find online.

Looks like Neiko and tekton also sell one's that looks identical and at 25 bucks each that's about what they sell for.
