Xcel machine wrenches

Snagged this interesting wrench set off ebay

Nice set. There used to be a really nice minty one in a display case at the antique mall that I would go to. It was the orange metal box, maybe a bigger set. Anyway, I would drool over it but the price was outrageous because they thought it a local treasure. Other ones I’ve run into, always missing something,broken, or rusted up.

Complete set is always a plus.

I'd be interested in your assessment of how well these wrenches work. I've been aware of this design for years but don't own any. I'm wondering how much torque they can stand? How well they fit? The sizes included would see some tightly fitted nuts I think.

I will try them out tomorrow
