Diamond Horseshoe adj
« on: November 18, 2012, 04:43:32 PM »
 I have had several Diamond Horseshoe adjustables over the years and still have 6 or 7;but I had not seen the head configuration of the one next to the top in photo. Got it thursday night at auction. Anyone ever seen one or know anything about it?

I have the top one, but I have never seen the second one. How Odd, it looks like a merging of an auto wrench design with something like a Trimo nut wrench...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I have an adjustable diamond wrench like that it my collection.  I always figured that since so many wrenches were used as hammers they decided to add a hammer to the end of the wrench.

Ditto. I also have a large Diamond Calk monkey wrench, apparently unused.  It has the unusual head the originator asks about, and is very "bright", it still got crowded off the boards into one of the Rubbermaid tubs.
