I have a full set of those, but would have to look at them when I get home to see what the name is on them. They are brass or bronze. I always figured they were bicycle wrenches. I think there are six wrenches in the set.

The set I have is MorgenMechanix, consists of 5 wrenches from 1/4" up to 7/8", all with an alligator end. The largest one is the only one with MorgenMechaix on it, abd is also marked TOOL STEEL , though they have a definite brass/bronze look to them. They are steel, since a magnet sticks right to them.
