Odd snap on wrenches

[sumner52000]

Anyone have any idea what to call these wrenches? It looks like you have a few handles and the wrench ends are interchangeable. Any help appreciated.

That's a nice collection there Sumner. I just picked up an old Blue Point today.

Not mine yet. Working on a long distance purchase. My co worker is interested in them but if he passes I do like them too. There is another ratchet I have my eye on from the same seller.

What application are those for? Heavy industry or factory work?

Basically. The tubular handles come in different lengths and give some good leverage.

I picked this one up today too. Made by Snap On, hex wrench with a 1985 date code on it.

We used to have a bunch of different sizes of wrenches that were similar to these. We used to call them "knocker" wrenches but ours had solid square handles on them. You could knock them with a big dead blow. We used them to break loose the nuts on our huge electric motors and pumps. The key was that these worked where you couldn't use an impact of large break over bar because of the lack of room.

Those are Snap on Tubular wrenches.

You use one handle for your entire set of wrenches

The ones with the rectangular head are striking wrenches. Designed to be hit with a large hammer

I have some of each is anyone is looking for any. Got to be careful on the tubular wrenches as there are at least 2 different tube sizes.
