Here are some of the engineer wrenches that I picked up.

0, 00, can't remember the # on the top one,

& 1, 3, 5.



Was surprised of the shape they are in.

The top one in the bottom phone looks more like a tool post wrench rather than an engineers wrench. At least it has a different shape than the others.  Is that possible?

I'll have to check, but I think I have two 705 Williams.  If I do, one can be yours.

Heelspur, now that you have almost all of them, you need to make a replica of the Williams display board. I'll see if I can find Northkid's thread. He has one. I have the display on a catalog page.  It looks pretty easy to build. I'm saving Williams to build one myself.

Looking through my engineer's wrenches for a 705 for Heelspur, I found three, all Williams, same style logo.  But one of them was about a half inch shorter than the other two.  What gives with this?

Billings wrenches are inconsistent for handle length for the same size wrench, so I'm not surprised Williams is also. Probably a production adjustment to make them look pretty side by side in sets, to make marketing happy.
