Small Adjustable Wrench Collectors

[Jeff]

Like the wife said, "Another damn thing to collect". I've only got 4 of them, but I like the small machining and craftsmanship.

Anyone else collect the small 4" wrenches?

You may also want to consider collecting Diamond.

I've considered getting some smaller tools like that for my nephew(3ish) who likes tools. Toy tools are **** and these will last forever and he may be able to use them someday. Also Ridgid makes one.

I don't "collect" them so much as "constantly buy new ones to replace the ones I've lost". I keep one in my lunchbox, one on my keyring and one on the clip I keep my striker on.

Here are a few I had laying here by the computor. I've got more out in the shop and some of the little ignition pliers. I also have a Plomb/Proto in transit from a member here.
That Danielson you have there is a nice one. I have one of those in 4" and a 6".
The smallest one in the picture I bought from the guy that made them at a motorcycle swap meet back in the 80's.

Don't collect them but I keep a 4" crescent wrench along with a set of 4wr vise grips in my pocket at all times, you would be suprised at what you can do with just those 2 devices along with a cheap pocket knife in a pinch!!!

 

[bczygan]

Picked up one for 50 cents. I'm also fascinated with their size and quality.
Would grab any others I come across.

I've got several in my toolbox. Will post pics when I get home!

All of my boxes...three that is, my big roll cab, 7drawer cart and carry box all have one 4" adjustable. The hand box has an 8" and 12" only to save weight. That small box is for general repairs, so no combo wrenches or sockets. More things like levels, snips, pliers, tapes, hammer, wrecking bars. The bigger boxes have 4,6,8,10,12,16 and the roll cab has a 24" adjustable.

Do I see a Malco or two in there? I love my Malco adjustable wrenches. 4" through 12".

 

[MalibuLX3]

I've got a tiny Proto like the one posted up above, and also a tiny set of Channel-locks

 

[ngk22r]

I have on laying around somewhere in my box. Almost never gets used but the one time I need it, it sure as hell comes in handy!

 

[crewchief888]

keyring, keys and wrench got lost somewhere along the way......


i do keep a 4" SO in a toolbag in my s-10

Bit of a thread resurrection but...
Left to right, Pennant, Joseph Lucas Minor 90, King ****, Abingdon

To be honest, the Pennant looks like it was made in the same place as the Joseph Lucas Minor 90 and King **** was the name of the Abingdon owners dog so I think its only two brands instead of four.

The Pennant adjustable lives in my carpenters belt pouch and gets used most days. Although its quite short it opens up quite a way and is just easy to carry with all the rest of the stuff I have in there.
