Looks like wrenches made to be struck with a hammer to loosen or tighten the fastener.

 

[Bighead38]

I've seen wrenches like that before. Iirc they are designed to hit with a hammer.

 

[GeorgeFromPa]

there called Knock wrenchs.. some people call them striking wrenchs.. yea there for beating on

 

[ecotec]

Already identified... But, I have always heard them referred to as slugging wrenches.

Not really... Do they have a brand name or logo on them? A lot of tools are collectible because of brand and age and scarcity...

Also... I have never seen slugging wrenches with a hole on the striking end. Anyone else think that is weird?

Flogging ring.

Depends on your location.

I've got some in my box at work... Thing is, if you need them, you probably have them. Also, if you have a nut that big you're probably doing something industrial and most industrial facilities don't buy second hand. I can say that new they're probably in the $150-$250 range each. But like I said, I doubt there is really a second hand market for them.

 

[Rossco]

What size are those rings?

 

[Trock03]

Anyone who has ever spent any time on a drilling rig knows them as hammer wrenches. But those don't look like any modern hammer wrench I've ever beaten on.

Those appear to be in great shape. Usually the edges of the striking end are deformed from all the abuse they take.

Hello, If you ever had to put in high pressure steam valves in that use a solid metal gasket that has to be hammered till they ping you would appreciate this style of wrench. These must be an older style because today's are built a lot heavier. Jim

I looked at the original photo and the largest wrench reads 2"

I have always called those slugging wrenches as well.

The hole in the handle is to tie a length of softline so that one man can pull on the rope and keep tension on the wrench while the other man hits it with his sledgehammer.

Well i'll be... The hole now makes perfect sense. In my part of Australia we generally call them "slogging wrenches" or "slogging spanners" just to be different.

Slugger being a strong hitter in Baseball, and Slogger being the same in Cricket I guess(?)

While slugging wrench was my first thought,I don't see any peening on them . They are all of nice uniform size on the slugging end. I think they may be for an interchangeable head torque wrench ,and the hole is for a retaining pin . The slugging end also looks too narrow for driving,also it has no offset the one I own has off set so you don't hit your work.

 

[geartow]

They may be heads for an interchangeable head torque wrench . If they are used slugging wrenches there should be some peening present from being struck.

 

[fatfillup]

I have seen both offset and straight slugging wrenches. One of my customers refer to them as banging wrenches.

I will say Geartow may be onto something. They don't look as heavy as the ones I have had.

 

[eddiemeddiem]

Slugging wrenches. The hole in the "handle" part is for a rope to keep it tight when striking it.

The heads aren't heavy enough to be slugging wrenches. Some sort of special wrench that you're not going to buy cheap and flip for a profit.

This is exactly what I thought they were. They appear to be interchangeable heads for a large torque wrench.

If you have used those style wrenches (you hit them with a sledge) you would not want to collect them.

They are slugging wrenches. Holes could be for a lot of things like people mentioned. To lanyard them or tie them off. To run rope or nylon through it to hold it tight. Rope/nylon to pull it with a chain fall or come along etc.

 

[dutchgray]

Slugging wrenches, I have a couple German ones with ends just that size and shape, sans hole. If they were for a torque wrench they would be machined and ground to size and those aren't. They look unused but are only worth having if you have a use.

 

[bwringer]

Is it a complete set?

The unused ones they may be leftovers from one or more sets. If you only need two or three sizes, it's probably cheaper to buy them in sets. Toss the sizes you can't use somewhere, and years later you have created a mystery...

 

[3baygarage]

Those are striking wrenches. Or flogging/slogging as they are called.

Could be Netsuren (Japan). The hole is for hanging or tethering I would think.

[geartow]

More importantly is did the OP buy them or not . I would have bid $20 on them .
