Title: Wanted: Hinsdale DBE HD series wrenches
Post by: keykeeper on March 07, 2012, 09:12:02 AM

Looking for Hinsdale Offset Double Box wrenches.
Specifically, the HD series with round shanks.
Finish condition not important, as long as they aren't pitted heavily. These will be users for my toolbox. I just like the heavy feel of them!

I have a few, will update with a list of specific ones I am after later this afternoon.
I think I have the HD3,HD5, & HD6

For sure I need the HD1 3/8 x 7/16
                                HD2 1/2 x 9/16
                                HD4 3/4 x 25/32

I currently have the following:

NO HD markings, marked front only with sizes and Hinsdale:
7/8 x 13/16
15/16 x 1

HD marked(front has sizes and back marked with HD designation w/Chrome Vanadium):
HD3 5/8 x 11/16

HD Series with 32nd increment markings (front only):
HD-12--14  7/16 x 3/8
HD-20--22   5/8 x 11/16
HD-24--25 3/4 x 25/64 (Coming from Fins/413)

They look like this-- (http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/Photos/tools/hinsdale_db1618_hd2_wrench_offset_f_cropped_inset2.jpg)

Also interested in any of the later HD series with the designations based on 32nds (IE: 18--20, 22--24, etc.)
Like this:

I may not be able to put one perfect match set together, so PM me if you have any of these that I didn't list above. At least maybe get a working set together. Thanks.

I think I have the HD3 in that size, KOB, but I will make sure when I get home later this afternoon.

Is it the older style as pictured, or the newer with the sizes marked like "20-22".

I'll get back with you on this, I may need it.

Looks like the top pic, but no back side marking of any kind.

Looks like there are 3 kinds of these:

One style marked one side only, without backside marking of HD designation
One style marked both sides, with HD designation on back
Newest style marked with the HD and 32nd increment designation on one side only.

KOB: I'll send you a PM on that one, it looks to match the larger ones I have.
