I have these New Britain offset box end wrenches pictured on the left--the three large ones and the two small ones. I have no better pictures at the moment, but can get some later if needed. Any clue what these are worth or are they worth hanging on to? Kind of considering maybe getting rid of them but haven't decided. I've yet to have a need for them, but at the same time I'm sure that if I sell them, I'll need them the next day.

I also have this Blue Point window removal tool. Is there a market for these things anymore? I don't see ever needing it and I'm thinking about selling this too. I have no clue as to the value or anything and can't find much information on it.

Any ideas? Also, please ignore the toolbox. I'm still in the process of creating a reasonable workspace, finding my tools, and getting organized. Moved into a new house about a year and half ago and my tools are scattered between my truck toolbox, my shed, my house, and some appear to have gotten up and walked off.

I would hang on to the wrenches if it was me. The other tool is for cutting out windshields glued in with urethane sealer. Unless you replace windshields it won't be of much use to you. Worth?? Put it on Ebay and see what happens.

I just bought some craftsman usa double offset wrenches like that after running into a couple scenarios where i thought "man, would those be nice right about now"

I'd sell the windshield tool if you don't ever plan to use it.

I use my offset wrenches from time to time. They don't come out of the tool box very often but I use them enough to justify them.

i bought a set of offset's 3 years ago, maybe used them once... put the 3 and the 2 on ebay with a low starting price and see what happens... in my experience, NB has a decent collector following.

Off sets are my go to tools. I use them all of the time. Keep them and use them! The NBs are vintage and might sell for $5 or $6 each, but they aren't valuable. The other tool? Will you use it?

Thanks for all of the input guys. I reckon I might as well keep the offset wrenches. I'm sure if I get rid of them, I'll wish I hadn't and probably need them soon after. As far as the windshield tool, I'll probably stick it on Craigslist or something. No clue what to ask for it.. I found one or two that sold a few years ago for $20-$30 in similar condition, but it's hard to tell if that's an accurate gauge or not.

Thanks again!

Offset spanners are really usefull to have in the toolbox. I'm just a DIYer but in the last
couple of years I have had three separate times that an offset spanner was the only
tool that would fit. The most recent being my Sisters top engine mount hanger after
doing a timing belt and water pump change. The bolts were recessed and there was no
headroom to get a ratchet and socket on the bolt. They were absolute life savers for
me.

I have never needed an extra long spanner or a half moon spanner even though I
own them, but I will always keep a full set of offset spanner in my toolbox.
