[Mark914]

I cringe every time i use an adjustable wrench at work.
I can hear my fathers voice in my head "Dont strip it !!!" "Get a real wrench ! "

[jeffmoss26]

Here's a couple that I own, all are Proto's except the two green handled Diamond's that I bought when I was 12 or 13...yep, had 'em a while.

These all get used, sometimes hard, but never abused.

Guess I should check out the Pipe Wrench thread, I've a 48", 36" aluminum Rigid, 24" aluminum Rigid, etc. etc.

Last weekend's additions, pretty different locking mechanism.

I also got another 8" crescent style wrench that is currently soaking in PB blaster to get the last of the gunge out of the thumbwheel, so I can remove it and clean it properly. 2 things odd about that one; the thumb wheel is half again longer than usual, and there is not a single marking on it anywhere! Nada, zilch, nothing!

The smaller one up close:

Outlaw,

I saw those wrenches in the garage sale thread and didn't get a close look at them. They are really unique looking wrenches. Hopefully i'll come across some of those sometime in a dirty cramped garage for a few bucks

[lbgradwell]

Great stuff, oak_park!

Are the 2 Japanese Kleins re-branded TOPs?

And a Beta from Sweden, huh? Can you post a close-up?

 

[Outlawmws]

Oak Park, where in the world did you find what looks to be NOS. chrome plated. double ended?

 

[Outlawmws]

I have four lol...is that a collection?

Nope! Maybe a small gathering?

 

[sometoyotaguy]

Some nice collections there guys. I may get bashed for this, but the only thing I found adjustables good for was rounding off nuts. What do you guys use them for?

 

[oak_park]

Great stuff, oak_park!

And a Beta from Sweden, huh? Can you post a close-up?

I'm assuming. For being non USA, I was pleasantly surprised at their quality. I read here on GJ that Klein borrowed their design. Nice chrome on them.

I'm sorry, the Jaguar is Bahco from Sweden, the Beta has no COA stamp.

Oak Park, where in the world did you find what looks to be NOS. chrome plated. double ended?

Flea market, found 2 of the nos 10/12's, one with box, which I just sold on ebay, keeping the other. Found the 2 6/8's at estate sales.
