Herbrand Wrench Identification
« on: June 17, 2011, 05:21:54 PM »
Anybody have any or know anything about these Herbrand wrenches? They are marked "Made by HERBRAND VAN-CHROME in U.S.A"  and individual catalog numbers  T-3, T-4 and T-5. They are 9-1/2" long.

My No. 37 Herbrand Catalog is too early to show these. Would like to know what they were for and how many other sizes were made. I think it would be neat to have a full set.

Are you sure they are tappet wrenches? Just asking, I haven't seen that type of opening.

Bus,
They are in the No 50M cat...1937. One page set aside for them called V/C ULTRA tappet wrenches, at bottom of page it has "revolutionary new desgn for more efficient tappet work"  Also you are only missing T1and T2!
