Another Orphan?? Wrench marked 170
« on: June 19, 2012, 09:03:30 PM »
Well,  I am guessing I have me another orphan.  Wrench has only 170 on it.  Anyone recognize this guy, or does he go into my wrench orphanage ?

The right hand end on mine is tortured a little.  Looks like someone pulled REALLY hard and opened it up.  No apparent cracks, but obvious damage.

I'm afraid you will have to send him to the orphanage till we find his parents. Too bad wrenches don't have DNA.

True, but they seem to breed in the dark, Almost sure I have one of those somewhere also...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
