Title: 1-1/4" + Wrenches
Post by: OilyRascal on September 07, 2013, 03:09:08 PM
An important person in my life has spoken up to say he has a need for combination wrenches greater than 1-1/4", stepping up to about 2" (being the desire).  This is a person that rarely expresses a need or want and that has helped me many times in the past, so I would like to try and help.

I'm in the market for good quality USA made combination wrenches that cover anything in the 1-1/4" - 2" range.  They do not need to be matching sets or have matching branding.  They can be rusty and ugly.  They just need to work.  I have until late November to fill the order.  Any help from the forum in "finds" would be greatly appreciated.  I have both cash and trade stock.  Probably a lot more of the latter thanks to my tool addiction.

I have a Williams 1039C Superrench 1 7/16 x 1 3/8 and a Plomb pebble 3055 1 5/16 x 1 1/4 to help get you started. A trade would be as good or better than cash for me, too. I'd be more interested in metalworking or machinist tools than mechanic's tools, but would be open to about anything. Sounds like this is pretty important to you, so don't worry too much about the trade. In fact, if you pm me your shipping information, I'll get the wrenches out to you and we can work out the trade later.
