couple yard sale wrenchs
« on: June 17, 2012, 05:24:52 PM »
Mac S14, never seen one before so just bought it out of curiosty.
The other 3 wrenchs I got for a buck but 2 have no names on them,
but they do have numbers.








Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Ford brake wrench. The offset is for the V8 ford ('32...) which needed a modified version from the more common straight one.
Openings should be 7/16 x 1/2....

Herbrand made one (2333V), ..probably others.....

Mac number S14 is for a brake spring tool....???

The top wrench marked "Westline" in the last photo was made by Vlchek for Western Auto; Westline was one of many house brands used by Western Auto.  The cad finish on this wrench suggests WWII era production 

The bottom wrench marked "Select Steel" is an Indestro.

The middle wrench looks like it could have been made by Vlchek too.  Compares nicely to the Westline (by Vlchek) wrench above it.  Does it not?  Just an observation...
