Armstrong Special
« on: May 26, 2017, 12:42:01 PM »
Hello, I am looking for some info on this wrench. Stamped SPECIAL on the handle, 567 on one side of the head, ARMSTRONG MADE IN USA with arm/hammer logo on the other side. No size marking, I came up with 1-1/4" across the flats on the open end. Overall length is 10", the open end is 1/2" thick, and the box end is 3/4" thick. Regards, Lou

Hello, Bill. Thanks for the reply. The open end and the length from the 567 in your catalog match up. But the one I have has a 12 point broach on the opposite end. Special order? Thanks, Lou
