Title: Samson Open Ended Wrenches
Post by: able_walker on December 19, 2016, 07:34:26 PM
Couldn't find any others online except the ones with the hole in the handle and some box end wrenches so here's my recent find...$1.00 each which seems a steal.Wrenches really are under appreciated it seems.The one shop I've discovered has bins of them new and old and a buck a wrench is the average.

Interesting, not seen Samson before.  Look to be 50s or a bit newer, are these as thin as they look, check nut wrenches?

Not too thin...the pick also makes it look as though there is an unfinished "seam" but it's been well ground and they feel nice in the hand.They have a bit of a nickle patina so I couldn't pass them up...of course I'll go back and dig some more in case they have the other sizes.
