Smith's

Does "Smith's" = H.D.Smith?

[Papaw]

Not to my knowledge.

I've seen the same trade mark on 3 & 4 opening open end wrenches that came with welding / cutting torch equipment.

Smith, at one time, produced Ox/Act cutting torches and related brazing and gas welding equipment. They may well still be in operation but I haven't seen any of their products for many years. I recall that their cutting torches were quite finicky and could not compare to some of the others in a harsh demolition or similar job. They were very good in a shop when they were used by one or two competent guys. Those wrenches look like the ones that came with the torch set. The big end is to connect the gauge to the cylinder, (around 1"I think) one of the smaller ones or maybe both should be about  11/16" and fit the hose to gauge and hose to torch. Not sure if what you have is the same company I'm talking about but it sure looks like it to me. Thinking back I don't think I've seen a Smith torch in use for at least 30 years.

Thank you all.

Smith is still around and is now owned by ITW the same company that owns Miller (as in welding machines).

Surprised to hear they are still out there. Personally I think Miller welders are good machines but from my experience I can't say the same for the torches.

How much did it go for? I have one of those wrenches :P

And, yes, the logo on that wrench is identical to the ones on my Smith's cutting torches. So it is definitely one of theirs.

Saw a set of these today, 6 or 7 total wrenches with 3 torch heads.
Didn't get a chance to ask a price he was pretty busy with others.
There was the 2 Stan showed and others like PFC has.

I didn't think that smith torches were that finicky. They make some of the longest running small torches. I preferred turbo torches for field work installing copper tube.

When I was much younger and had to pinch pennies more I really wanted two tools  that I couldn't afford - a Craftsman hip-roof tool box and a Smith's Little Torch.

They are still in business and using the same name since they were bought out. That indicates to me that their brand recognition is pretty good.

They were the only torches my grandfather used, and he was a professional welder at the mines here in Minnesota. I only got one of his torches, but it's a nice one. With the appropriate tip, it will cut up to 9" of solid steel o.o

I've picked up smaller Smith's torches for a few bucks at auction here and there. They seem to fetch a premium price on eBay, as opposed to Oxweld and others. I haven't tried to sell any of mine. I like them :3 They are very handy in my blacksmithing.
