Old Blue Point Wrenches Made in Canada

[PowerGenGuy]

Was at a second hand store and found several interesting, to me anyways, wrenches that i did not know were once made in Canada. Found two Blue Point Supreme open end wrenches made in Canada # S-2022 and S-3032. Also found Challenger by Proto wrenches made in Canada, 6126, 6114 and 1224. I like the Proto so i will try and put this set together as i find pieces!

At some point, the following U.S. companies were also manufacturing in Canada and I'll put for sure what I've seen made in Canada in brackets:

Snap on (wrenches, ratchets, sockets, extensions, screwdrivers, chisels/punches)

Blue Point (wrenches)

Proto/Proto Challenger/Challenger (wrenches, ratchets, sockets, extensions, screwdrivers, chisels/punches)

Herbrand (wrenches, sockets)

Stanley (Screwdrivers)

Fleet (I'm purdy damn sure, thought I saw some Canadian sockets recently)



I'm sure there's several more, just can't think of them right now.

I've got a Proto Challenger 3/8 speeder made in Canada, I love that thing. I'm always on the hunt for more.

Yes, and P&C and Penens too. If Vlchek was ever produced here as a Pendleton brand, I've yet to see one...

I'm pretty sure (as I've read on GJ), that Snap on produced stuff in Canada was meant to be sold in Canada and in British Commonwealth countries.
