Title: Dura Chrome wrench
Post by: radguy on August 15, 2011, 04:00:48 PM

So I picked up a dura chrom wrench with the numbers G1028S on the end of the wrench. Is this wrench from a car tool kit?

1028S is a 'special' ISN (that is, it's a non-standard standard size), that number (G1028s) is one of the ones the military folks are often looking for...

Should measure 5/8 x 25/32

Thanks! I may have to clean it up. It has some kind of black sealant applied to it.

Could be cosmoline, leave it on!

Cosmoline! The military used lots of it to keep tools and parts for years. I used to buy military surplus parts for Harley 45s that were coated with cosmoline.

I have four more wrenches that have the coating. I will have to look them over to see if I can find any numbers. I will take some pictures on Saturday and post them up.
