Barcalo wrench and "clones"
« on: February 23, 2020, 02:17:23 PM »
I posted a short while back about the Tomahawk wrench set and its distinct similarity to the 40's-50's Barcalo-Buffalo wrenches.  I have completed two sets of Barcalos, giving one to my grandson. I am two wrenches into my third set.  Bought this Barcalo and an Arrow wrench yesterday, same size, and brought the Tomahawk in from the garage for a "family photo".  Evildr235 mentioned Arrow wrenches and I said I had never seen one - til yesterday.

The Barcalo has remnants of a thin chrome plate, The Tomahawk is probably cadmium, and the Arrow wrench has most of its chrome.  Other sizes of the Barcalo set appear to be nickel plated.
