They don't appear to be...just stuck a magnet to them. Just nicely polished and very well finished.

Interesting metrics. Do we know who made them? I like when they put 12 and 13mm on the same wrench. You know you have an 8mm bolt but some 8mm bolts/nuts have 12mm hex head and other 8mms have 13mm heads. With both sizes on one wrench it can save you some steps.
What kind of a place threw these things out?

Those metrics look sexy. What's with the not-quite-hex-shaped openings?

Ratcheting maybe.

no idea who made them, but i think that is a type of "ratcheting" wrench. They're very smooth in the hand. Wish i had found a full set. :embarrassed: I can't tell where i found them...might cause problems. :tongue:

I found a similar double ratcheting open end wrench recently in SAE sizes. The thin, flat profile should be useful for a back-up wrench. Figured it was worth the $1.
I think I recall AA had a wrench called a Ratcho back in the early 19 teens with that broaching. So it's an old idea.

Always interesting, what people dump. I found a full set of Whitworth open end wrenches on the top layer of a (lidless) garbage can in the neighborhood, back when we had a dog to walk daily. My brother's been equipped to restore an older British car ever since.
At the very least, had I been that family, I'd have found the metal recycling bucket. But I'm glad they left the set where I could find it.
Nice finds.

Sexy has already been used in this thread, so... Those are pretty cool!
