Autokit No. 100 wrenches
« on: September 20, 2011, 04:31:41 PM »
I found this set of Autokit No. 100 wrenches this weekend and it actually has a pin and nut holding the set together.  I am not sure the pin is the original, but it is the first one I have found that had one.  I found (6) wrenches, Is this set correct and complete?

I know there are 6 to the set, and a tapered pin holds them together. I'm looking for a set like this, so if its for sale/trade please do PM me.

Thanks!

 Since I don't remember seeing a set with the pin and nut , I must assume they are original. Nice find.

It looks complete and correct. The pin and nut are just like the ones in the patent, and in my correct set.




Discussed before, here- http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=95.msg399#msg399

Now you must go to Alloy Artifacts and see if your wrenches are a correct set!

I just completed putting a set of these together, (only I don't have the pin to hold them together).

I just saw a complete set of these sell on ebay last week and they went for over $70.00.

I have one complete and correct down to the sequence of wrench numbers, and another with incorrect pin and mismatched wrenches.

I'm not really into collectible wrenches, but I still enjoy seeing old tools of any kind, and I do appreciate a great find when I see one!!!  Good going on that set of wrenches!!!

What are the 2 smallest sizes? I have 5 out of the 6 and the smallest one is 7/16" x 5/16" (according to my inventory)
What do you mean by sequence of wrench numbers?
Thanks

The smallest two are 5/16 x 7/16 and 7/16x 1/2.
If you read the AA info, they tell about the forged-in codes that were supplied in sets.
The wrench sizes (listed box end first) are 5/16x7/16, 7/16x1/2, 1/2x9/16, 9/16x5/8, 5/8x3/4, and 3/4x7/8.

The overall length of the set is 7.4 inches. The individual wrench lengths are 4.0, 4.5, 5.1, 5.9, 6.6, and 7.4 inches.

The finish is cadmium plating.

In addition to the markings noted above, each of the wrenches is marked with a forged-in code, and four of the six wrenches also have a "Pat. Pend." patent notation. The individual codes and patent markings are, from smallest to largest, 4X (Pend), 4.5U, 5S (Pend), 6.T, 6.5T (Pend), and 7.5U (Pend).

I think that there were many manufacturers of the kit wrenches-not all stamped "Autokit"- I also had one that was marked "Made in Germany"....Cranky
