Monroe Shock Absorbers wrench
« on: August 24, 2011, 09:22:10 AM »
Have you ever seen a Monroe Shock Absorbers wrench?
Its 1/2" box end and 9/16" open end. Who made it for Monroe?

No, I have never seen, or heard of a "Momroe Schock Absorber Wrench"! Please tell me more as to what the history of it is, and why it is designiated as a special application wrench?

Thanks,

Wayne

Sorry, I must have lost something in the translation of your response , as I did not get one? Just curious questions, as I have never seen this one before?

Edit: now I see you have incorporated your responses into your quotes!

That could cause a bit of  cursing if you have slid under the car thinking you had either 9/16" or 1/2" combo.. spanner!

Very unusual wrench. Not only have I never seen a "Monroe" wrench, I have also never seen a combination wrench that had 2 different sizes.

It looks a lot like the wrenches vlchek produced for western auto in the westcraft name. The location of the die number, the type style, the handle profile, the open end head shape...
 However, I can't find any examples of vlchek using just "Forged <> USA", then again, they were rather variable on wrench markings for contract stuff....2c
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
