Title: Plomb 33XX series OE wrenches
Post by: Northwoods on October 23, 2020, 09:34:05 AM

A few years back I noticed a Plomb ignition wrench at the bottom of a box.  Don't even remember the number or size, but it was unusual, and so I looked it up on AA and found something like this:

Some time passed and I had not seen another, and so I gave it away to a fellow, I believe, on a FB Plomb group.
Danged if I didn't find two more of them yesterday:  3316 (1/4") and 3324 (3/8").
I got to wondering what sizes they were originally made in.  Couldn't find anything--except the WF Tool Index on this page:    http://www.vannattabros.com/plomb/plombtool.html

By doing some extrapolating, and looking at old Proto 33XX series wrenches, I'm guessing that Plomb MAY have manufactured the following: 3314,  3315,  3316,  3318,  3320,  3322,  3324,  3328,  and 3332.
I am guessing that Plomb added a few numbers to this list and that is where you come in.
Do any of you have these little wrenches, and can you give me their part numbers so we can put together a complete list?
I know that every time I post a message, it is to ask you to do some work for me, but I only do it because I get results.

I have a Proto 3211 ignition wrench I have had a long time. I guess that is not what you are looking for.

15/64 3211 PROTO MFD USA 13/64 are the markings.

Yeah, according to AA Plomb had a 32XX series with different size openings prior to the 33XX series of one size openings.
The 32XX wrenches had overlapping sizes.  The larger size on one tool would be the smaller size on the next tool.

Thanks, Mike.  That is exactly what I wanted to know.
The only question I had left was whether there was a 3326--which would have been 13/32".
The cat makes no mention of it; and so it does not exist.
Thanks again.

Here is my 3314, which is the smallest one. It’s the wrench at the bottom of the pictures, marked War Finish on the opposite side.
