Snap-on AD6 6" (I'm not a snappy guy, but for a $1)

Absolutely! I really like that older logo & it looks to be in very good condition...

It is in fine condition.  Not a chip off the chrome....not even on the flats.  Smooth movement.  No slack.  The "H-Beam" shank has nice feel for me.  The weight feels substantial for a 6" at 4 ounces.  I've been carrying it in the pocket since I've had it.  I can not deny it is easy to see why their brand brings a premium.

Anybody else have a Poly-Lock?

"It is marked "Crescent Tool Co. Jamestown N.Y., U.S.A."- OilyRascal

Thanks for checking that for me.  I really like your 6" Plomb/Proto along with many others.

Here is a poor attempt at a picture of how the Clik-Stop works...



The knurl spring holds the knurl tight against the opposing teeth(or tooth).  I hope that is evident in this picture.

Here is a picture of my Clik-Stops.

A better look at the Kraeuter 8" after cleaning and by itself.  It has a 1" flat-to-flat max opening, 8-1/8" long, 8.2 ounces, with markings of "8 IN. KRAEUTER DEFIANCE OHIO" with Defiance over Ohio.  It also has casting marks of "L" and "C" on the shank just near the hanging hole.  On the opposite shank it is marked "8 IN. Forged Alloy in U.S.A" with a casting mark of "J" near the hanging hole.

Those two NYE wrenches appear to have been made by Proto. They have plain hang holes like Proto was making in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Also the forging marks are like Proto.

I noticed on some the wrenchs there is an arrow pointing in one direction,
like on the diamond wrench, what is that for?

It shows the direction in which you are supposed to pull the wrench; supposedly it ensures the most force is on the stronger static jaw.

Had the feeling that was gonna be the answer, wonder why only certain ones have them.
