Vandegrifts patent wrench
« on: June 20, 2011, 11:26:18 AM »
Found this little devil at the swap meet this weekend.  The guy I got it from thought it was made of gold for the price I paid.  I hate those weak moments, but I LOVE the wrench...

That is a real Beauty, that I would Love to carry around as a conversation piece. Is it the "Monte" Pocket Screw Wrench Version, working off the Vandegrifts pat#"589765"? And around 6 inches long?

Yes,  wrench is approx. 6" long and that is the correct patent #.

  Thats a purty wrench. You'll forget about the price in time but the wrench will still be a keeper.

Bear,

 I am looking for a 241 wrench and pliers and double ended screwdrive to complete my #14 set.
Also looking for a 13/16", 23/32" and 25/32" sockets.

I don't have many doubles, but I'll see what I have and let you know.

Sweet find.
