Title: vlchek 25
Post by: ouray19 on January 24, 2013, 05:43:41 AM

I have come across a vlchek 25 wrench. It is 1/2 x 19/32 and is stamped 25 on one end. 24 is forged in the handle. I cannot seem to find any info on this and wondering if any one can help provide some info on it. I own a 1954 Willys and curious to know if this may possibly be one of the original wrenches provided in the tool kit for this truck. Also, any one know what wrenches came in the original tool set for this Willys? Thanks, John.

the 25 is an industry standard number for 1/2-19/32 open end wrench. i can't say if that wrench is from a specific auto kit.

Thanks for the link. That's a lot of info about Vlchek. I also have a 1027 and 1028S. I'll look to see if I can them on that site. Thanks again.
