 Don't see the King Dick stamped wrenchs at the local auctions. Found an adjustable a while back but don't recall seeing any stamped oew's

Stanley62,

To my eye, the Blackhawk T-handle socket driver is the pick-o-the-lot.  Very nice in a crude kind of way... looks like it could be hand forged.

I have a couple of modern day T-handle socket driver equivalents made by Hazet.  Metric of course and machine forged.  I like them though.
