Title: Williams spanner
Post by: Nolatoolguy on October 19, 2013, 01:32:39 AM

A buddy gave me this Williams spanner today.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the numbers and letters on the on towards the front of the wrench stand for. It is shown in the second picture.

I use one like that at work. It is really beat up as it has been around a while. The handle is bent from having had a cheater pipe on it.

I'll take one of those for $2.75 each.
Thanks for sharing

Great page you got there Bill, and thanks for sharing.

Its perfectly straight. Doesn't look like there's ever been a cheater pipe on it.
