Title: M F Brand Wrenches
Post by: Lewill2 on April 25, 2022, 06:44:22 PM

I have a 4 inch crescent style wrench that has a logo that is M F inside a square. Dose anyone know who the manufacture is? I don't see anything in Alloy Artifacts.

Maybe Millers Falls? I found the first picture on the Garage Journal. The Hacksaw blade is mine and it’s Millers Falls.

Thanks, I thought about that but didn't find anything to back it up. Another interesting thing is the address on the ratchet hang card is 12 miles from the house,  never knew that either.

I have a couple of MF stamped wrenches.

I had always assumed they were branded for Massey Ferguson, kinda like the John Deere tools we see.

I like this answer better
