Scottg sent them.  You'll have to check with him on the price.  Nice little wrench.

oldtools, 

The ones we got were similar but of much higher quality and a more pleasing shape.  Scott bought a dozen of them on ebay and was kind enough to offer them to the members at his cost plus shipping.  They are chinese(even have little chinese characters on the shank).

I have one of these little guys that was made in Hong Kong that is crap compared to the chinese one Scott got us.  Thanks Scott.

The ones Scott sent out even have a threaded axel for the adjuster, which is more than can be said of the current production of Cresent  made adjustables (even the Centennial commemoratives).

Yes, they are very well made. I wonder how many I would have to buy to have Tool Talk on them?

Hi Guys
  The little wrenches were a couple bucks mainly to cover postage.
 If you didn't get yours Jas, its lost in the mail by now.   Send the address again, I kept one back for this occasion.

  They are still available on Ebay.  Last I looked it was $4 singles and $8 a 1/2 dozen, and only $13 a full dozen. That is why I took them.
 http://www.ebay.com/itm/CTA-12-MINI-ADJUSTABLE-WRENCH-W-KEYCHAIN-2-1-2-LONG-OPENS-TO-APPROX-3-8-/200821938186?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec1eb980a

 They come with horrid tenacious stickers on them. Well, the stickers are just paper but the adhesive is fierce.  It takes a day long soak in gasoline to even start to budge the adhesive.

 If anyone can read the Chinese trademark we'd have a clue who made them? Something tells me its probably like 10,000 units to get your own name on though.
  yours Scott
