Thanks for the BAHCO link. Your 0669 looks better than theirs.  It always makes me happy when one of my wrenches looks better than the example on the web.

Me too!
The wrench that got me started with old wrenches was a BAHCO adjustable with an alligator end. Found it in a Volvo I bought in 1969, used it for years before I knew what it was after finding the internet.

Same here...

Found a BAHCO 11 in the trunk of what is now my sons '69 Volvo.  It's still in there, but it lead me to a search for one of my own that has gotten a little out of hand.

I need to get an updated picture, but you can probably already see that there is a problem.

Minus the pliers, I have most of those. Never saw any pliers.

The pliers are from a Volvo tool kit and have Eskilstuna Sweden stamped on them.

A couple years ago I started on a quest to prove that the pliers were made by BAHCO or "Eric Anton Berg", a BAHCO subsidiary.

The next step in the quest is to learn Swedish because I've run into a dead end with the pliers and with a similar quest for NIC tool info.
