Huh, I don't know what is a quid (and I was born in England) but if I had any, I'd gladly part with 2 of them for those fine wrenches. Well done!

Very nice set of "English keys", benjy!

I presume you are aware those are Clyburn Adjustable Screw Spanners as invented by Richard Clyburn in Gloucestershire way back in 1842...

They are, I like the round heads, they have a nice symmetry.
The Brits often seem to have better tool esthetics for some reason.

So, about $3.25...  Or about $1.08 each...  Awesome deal on some beautiful wrenches!
