I have a set going. (Been at it a few years - no new finds in over 12 months.) Find them really nice for many wrenching jobs. They seem to be less prone to sliding off a fastener when you're torquing on it.

I have some dupes, Jim C. (I follow that same AA listing)
Some are not the nicest condition, but, I'm willing to sell/trade if you want.

Oh, I forgot that I "made" a set of metrics of these. Had some that were mashed and damaged in the jaws, so I widened them out to the next nearest metric size and painted them orange. Work well on bicycles and such.

Hey bonneyman,

I'd be interested in your dupes.  Can you send me a PM and tell me what you have?  I have a few dupes too, but not nearly as many as you have.  Maybe we can work out a deal.  Thanks!

Dang, now you got me interested enough to go out to the cold barn, dig out a wooden box with excess, and see if the one wrench I have is one you need,  hey, needed the excercise.

Did you have any luck finding that wrench out in the barn John?

For an "old" tools design I really like the way they fit on a bolt. Every time I use one I complement the guy who made it.
