Todays wrench finds

[stanley62]

You can never tell what a seller will value a wrench at.  I got these 4 today.  The 8-10" double ended crescent was only $6.  The P &C was $2...  You can just never tell.
Wrenches are (right to left):
  UNION SS bicycle type wrench
  Crescent 8"-10" double adjustable
  P & C DBE
  Indian Monkey wrench

Nice double adjustable!
A neat oddity, though, if I could get a 6" x 8" cheap, I'd snag it.

 Don't you know that's arson to threaten a person with great bodily harm if they don't sell you a wrench at a ridiculously low price. Speaking of the Crescent.

[HeelSpur]

I love days like that, nice score.

[Papaw]

Never, ever saw a double that cheap!

[stanley62]

Me neither...  I have the same wrench with a broken screw that holds the adjuster on one that I paid $20 for.  I guess I can quit looking for the screw.  Well... It doesn't hurt to keep looking.

Stanley62,

For the record, of the 4, I'm liking the P&C DBE the best.

Is the Indian wrench related to the Indian motorcycle tribe?

It sure is, and often sell at a premium price. recent sold auctions on Ebay show $39 to $93.

[stanley62]

I need to check the Indian.  I keep bringing every one home that I find at a good price.  I fear I may have 3 or 4 of this same type.  I guess that is not really a bad problem to have...  This one is exceptionally clean (rationalization for my benefit).

Several years ago there were a lot of repop Indian monkey wrenches hit the street. Sadly I can't tell you how to tell.   Chuck Garrett

Stanley62,

If we are going on the record with this, I really like those  double ended adjustables. I have paid way too much for some. P&C 2nd best.

Case in point - My latest (July 29, 2014, rec'd August 8, 2014) is a Bahco adjustable / alligator I won on eBay. After the auction the seller said the adjustable was locked up, he was sorry and would refund or adjust if I still wanted it. I took it anyway and told him I would work to free it and we could adjust the price later if needed. I cleaned the outside last week, now I have penetrating oil going in today. I wouldn't necessarily do that for just any tool that I paid higher money for. ($25.95 w/shipping) -remember, my favorite price is $1.00 for a tool.

Didn't get this one:

So, if you have these, remember poor ol' Chilly, and try not to take too much advantage of my blind stupidity when it comes to these double enders.... (especially the little tiny ones....)

Chilly (feeling better now,  having got that off my chest. Slightly vulnerable, better go get my testosterone injection.?...?...)

[turnnut]

Chilly, if that is a 6" - 8"  and you have a 6" cresent, take the screw and adjusting nut ouit and try it in the double.
that is if you win it.

I hate to say it, but burried in one of my (caves) is a box of new old stock parts, where ???
if I remember right, there were screws, nuts & sliding jaws.

did someone mention piles & piles of "gotta haves" ??? but what and where ???

a few days ago, I ran accross a couple cards of radio finger wrenches, I went to get them the other day to take a few pictures, and I cannot find them.

I am still trying to learn how to shrink pictures to put on here, my wife did the Ellis wrenches for me.

I am not a computor savvy person, still type with one finger.

[jimwrench]

why not one finger ? you can only hit one key at a time. I use two fingers but only one at a time.
