ESTATE SALE WRENCHES
« on: October 23, 2011, 09:39:53 PM »
I had an awesome estate sale weekend. I got this as new condition Snap On SAE wrench set. It goes from 7/16" to 1 " and they are 6 point wrenches.All are in perfect condition.I got a Snap On hex socket set as well.I got a bunch of Williams tiny obstruction wrenches , a Husky 11/16 x 5/8 short double box wrench.I never knew they made such a large wrench in such a stubby wrench size.I think the Husky will be a handy wrench.I thought I did pretty good.

The S/O wrench set lists for $368.00.I didn't pay a fraction of that. The only drawback is that they are 6 point wrenches.Not the greatest for tight fits. I suppose I can live with that.

All my small wrenches are 6 point, they don't screw up bolts half as bad as 12 point when the bolts are in bad shape...

Nearly all my sockets are as well, try them for a while, you will eventually discover that 12 point is highly overrated....(all you have to do is flip the wrench over to get the other 15 degree offset anyhow)

Of course, I also have a set of ratcheting box wrenches, often these serve for what I would have used a 12 point wrench for in a tight place...
