Title: Little old lady's wrench
Post by: HeelSpur on July 08, 2013, 09:59:43 AM: Bought this off a little old lady at a flea market and it was totally crusty. Should of taken before and after pics, but it has a logo that's not on AA (unless I missed it, again). It sure is an interesting looking wrench though, both sides with different designs. Anyone recognize this logo?

I was just surfing thru AA one day, and came upon these OE's with the funny hollowed out shape near the end. That image just stuck. And the letters NDF.
When I saw your wrench, that little memory fired. And I found it in about 2 minutes on AA. Was kinda pleased with myself the rest of the day knowing I solved a little tool "mystery" before anyone else did. lol
