Title: New JH Williams USA Stubby Wrenches $1 each
Post by: kxxr on November 12, 2011, 07:14:32 PM
Anyone in the market for a good deal on stubby wrenches in various sizes can find them on ebay from this seller:
http://myworld.ebay.com/desh98/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
He has them listed as "Williams midget wrenches" in 19 sizes and the shipping is very reasonable. I bought one of each for just over $28, shipped.

The guy says he has thousands of these wrenches. I'm no ebay expert, but I believe you are coaxed to leave a feedback reply for each item you purchase. So, for example, if someone purchases 100 wrenches, he would leave 100 feedback replies. I will probably leave 19 feedback replies for the 19 wrenches I bought, and they too will all say the same thing.

I don't buy many new tools but lately I have bought new stuff x 3. For the $$ I spent on them I could have bought buckets of good old stuff. I'm just having a little buyer's remorse for buying brand new. I'll get over it. These came in yesterday.

I just ordered a bunch of the metric wrenches.Haven't received them yet.That's a good deal and he only charges 25 cents extra per wrench for combined shipping. As far as Ebay Feedback,If you sell 50 wrenches to the same person and leave 50 feedbacks the buyer and seller only get 1 feedback credit towards their feedback score.I bought 10 or so wrenches and get positive feedback,yet my feedback score went up 1 number.

Yes, I left my feed back this morning. 19 wrenches, 1 feedback. I was glad I didn't have to make an entry for each one.

I got mine in the mail this morning.I think these are seconds as the finish has some blemishes.But,I can't complain for a buck a piece and they are all new.This is a really good deal.

Yeah, mine had some variation from one to the other on the finish too. For a buck though, one dollar. I'm happy.

Hi kxxr, do you know what type of steel are they made from? Are they Cr-V or just chrome plated carbon steel?

Don't know off hand. The Williams website might say. I don't have them in front of me.

No problems. I'd say they probably are, since they've been making their wrenches in alloy steel since 1925. :) (I just googled this btw).

Update on the feedback. I left feedback for 1 wrench and thought I was done. When I went back to ebay, it said I still had 18 items awaiting feedback. I had to leave feedback for each one of the wrenches I bought. The seller had to do the same for me. His score went up 19 and mine did too.
