Hinsdale DBE Deep Offset
« on: January 31, 2018, 09:31:47 AM »
I always have liked short, offset box wrenches.  Even if they’re not offset much.
But a new girl showed up at school today and I think I am smitten.
Check out these deeeep offset standard length flat beam Hinsdales.
Man I would sure love to fill in the two in the middle to complete this set.

I haven’t been able to track down about when these were made.
Can anyone shed any light in these wrenches?

I like shorty, deep offset DBE's as well.

And those flat beams look like they'll squeeze into tight spots.

Good for you.  Those tiny ones (in most all sets) are hard to find.

Thanks again so much turnnut.
