Is that an eight or six inch pliers?

Thanks for the offer but I'm only after the one type of Barcalo, but it sounds like lucakiki is showing some interest.

I have several of these wrenches in different sizes.I borrowed this picture  from Alloy Artifact as I don't have any of mine with me. I am trying to find out how many and what sizes make up a set and to get one of each size. I have the following:

2- 7/8 x 25/32
5- 3/4 x 5/8
3- 11/16 x 19/32
1- 9/16 x 1/2
1-  1/2 x 7/16
1- 13/32 x 5/16
I am interested in buying or trading until I have a complete set.I have lots of different tools for trade material so let me know what your looking for and maybe we can work something out. This example says western auto stores which none of mine do,all of mine just say Barcalo. Thanks, Jim


I have found a 15/16" x 1", 9/16" x 1/2", and 11/16" x 19/32" in this "style" if you care for them.

I would love to have those, I don't have the big guy and my 9/16 is not the best. Do you want some cash or what are you interested in, I have a little bit of everything and more than willing to do a trade of some kind, Let me know,Thanks ,Jim

I found one of the small ones the other week.  It is 5/16 and something.  I have a couple other larger ones.  I'll try to get pics up sometime this week.

Update: Here are pics.  Small is ?/32 and 5/16 says "MADE IN USA"; Middle is 11/16 & 19/32 Says "Forged BARCALO IN USA; larger one is 3/4 & 5/8 with same writing as the middle but more worn and hard to read.

I do have at least one of each of the ones you have, however some of mine are not the best, so I am always looking for others. I may be interested in a trade if I have something you may be looking for. I have a fair amount of parts for Stanley planes and a fair amount of older American wrenches and lots of other vintage stuff,let me know what you like and we'll take it from there. Thanks for the post. Jim

This guy has a couple of these wrenches for sale.  His prices seem kind of high.

I do have a 1/2 x 7/16 but it's not very nice, I would be interested in all you have, are you looking to trade or would you prefer a cash deal? Sorry for the slow reply but I've been out salmon fishing for the last several days. I do have a fair amount of old tools from wrenches to planes to plumb bobs etc etc etc. So if your interested in a trade let me know what your looking for and i'll see what I have. Thanks, Jim

I have three put to the side for you.  One of them the smallest.  Will get them out soon.

I still have the big one in 1 x 15/16 for you. We can work a trade on it. I lost my old PC a few weeks ago, so lost the email you sent me of vlchek trade fodder.

Let me know, getting ready to do a blitz of all the stuff I don't need or want. Most will be put on here or eBay.
