Title: Easco allen wrenches
Post by: 1930 on June 24, 2018, 06:07:37 AM

Hello, I picked up this set of Allen wrenches yesterday and according to this https://nationalstocknumber.info/national-stock-number/5120-00-595-9244 webpage I am missing the 1/8 3/16 and the 1/4 inch sizes.

Top dollar paid!

Help me to make another complete set, thanks

You are far more dedicated to set purity than I would ever have patience to do, especially with Allen wrenches. I would just toss in the AWOL sizes and think nothing more of it myself.

I was digging thru some stuff I picked up from my brother yesterday and found some Allen Wrenches with "ET" stamped on them.  Of course I know who that is, Ekline Tool, as I have many sets of theirs in my stuff that I use often.  You could always cover up the "T" on them. :huh:

I keep assuming someone someday like myself is gonna find my tools at a flea market and they will appreciate and be pleased that the sets are complete and correct, maybe they will come onto a tool forum like this and brag about their find and how dedicated and careful the previous owner must have been.

Its also preserving history which makes me feel as if if Ive accomplished something in my life.

I sorted thru a shoe box size container of allen wrenches yesterday.  Found a set of Eklind ET wrenches but none with E.  Just wanted you to know.  The 3/8 Easco wrench was here at work. Nice condition.  Let me know if you want it.
