Saturday's small catch
« on: September 04, 2011, 08:59:26 PM »
A yard sale, the dump, and the junk shop yielded these.  Across the top, a Williams (in an oval) spud wrench -- priciest piece here.  From the left, a Stanley sweet heart blade, a pair of Boker nippers, a Snap-On 7/16 star wrench, nameless counter sink, an adjustable hole cutter and the strangest looking wrench I ever saw, a nice small nail set, and a pair of screw drivers of the sort we've been talking about.  The longer is 9 7/8'" long, the smaller, 5 3/4".  No names on either of the drivers.  The little one might be a later knock-off, but it looked too good to pass up.

To me Any catch is a Good catch Branson! That little wrench has me baffeled as well? It must be a special purpose tool for some mechanical device, but you already know that! I assume there is no indicating marks on it? Anyway, a nice little batch of quality tool finds.

That's what I need, a boomerang wrench, so it comes back when I lose it....

Not the slightest clue what that one fits....

Lots of goodies tho...

Argh!  I forgot the marks -- yes, there are marks.  The slender arm is stamped GW-1, and the other arm has GB in a circle -- the stem of the G makes the line for the back of the B.

I agree with Wayne. Any catch is a good one in today's economy.

Branson could the GB be a graham Brothers logo, can you take a better pict and post it...but only if you will sell it to me if I like it, no point in teasing me with it. :)

>Snap-On 7/16 star wrench

Inside out torx, tho there are several variations (6 point, 8 point, and spline, which isn't the same but often is confused for it)

The big sizes are common for seat belt bolts , small sizes are used for engine parts sometimes...

12 point socket.  It appears to be a Snap-On F-1416 "Hammerhead" Fixed Socket Wrench that has had the 1/2 inch end cut off.

I'll try to get a photo of the logo, maybe by Friday.  My camera is broken, and my step-son is by far the better photographer.

At long last, here are the close-ups of the odd little wrench.  Is it a Graham Brothers?

May be a small catch, but better then nothing.

Nice finds.


Love the handle on the wrench.

Kinda like Graham Brothers, but not quite right.
