New (to me) tools

[NinnyCTSV]

Picked these up the other day. Never really messed with these style of wrenches but I wanted to try them out. Some older Cornwell wrenches. An older set of snap on picks and these cool little craftsman socket adapters I've personally never seen

Ninny in the 1st picture the cornwell set they are referred as a Sultus Wrench. (see link).
Not much used today because of space requirements.

[Richard Cranium]

I still have a set like that, but they have been replaced by my gear wrenches

We have those in the Craftsman brand. We kept breaking the 5/8, I think. After the last time I was told they were no longer making them...?

 

[mowkep]

And by breaking I mean the actual sockets split on the side. Very thin wall

I have been looking for a set of saltus wrenches for while. If you dont mind saying, what did you pay from them.

 

[bcradio]

Very nice score... I love those wrenches

 

[Bighead38]

I have those craftsman socket cap set. Not something I use often at all. However the times I have used them they were a lifesaver.

 

[Farmall 1066]

Got a set of Mac Saltus wrenches from 5/16 to 11/8"
Love them for certain jobs.

Nice adapter set, could see them being handy

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

I wouldn't mind a set of Saltus wrenches. How much did you layout for the 3 items?

 

[barracudadave67]

I believe SK still makes Saltus wrenches.

Anyone know why the name Saltus?

I have a SAE SO set for my boat. Nice for limited access.

Your question got me wondering. I don't know if it's the origin, but I ran across Saltus-Werk Max Forst GmbH on Wikipedia as a toolmaker.

This description is part of the page.

"1953, a design patent was registered for the multifunctional "3=1" combined open-jaw and joint-socket spanner."

I have sold a few sets. Small engine guys like them.

[JohnDeere1]

I would kill to have those Cornwell wrenches wish I could find a set in the wild, if you ever want to trade hit me up I'd trade a set of high performance 0° sae snap on or Mac in metric both sets are new, I have the worst luck finding tools as I live in a big city that manufacturers alot and many dealerships and garages not to mention contractors anything good it scooped up in the day its out.

 

[Bacon Man]

SK Still makes Saltus Wrenches, and so does Proto.

I have a 7/16 1/2 and 9/16 that are SK and they are my pocket wrenches at work.
