What to do with old Ford wrenches

[Travelover]

I've got some old wrenches that came with Ford cars back in the day - monkey wrenches, open ended wrenches, a ratcheting band wrench. I've listed them on eBay for a long time and no takers, even for $5.

What would be a good way to dispose of them short of selling them for scrap?

Try selling them at an antique car show. I think if you put one in just about any pre '72 or Tri-Five car owners hand, he will give you 5 bucks for it.

When did Ford stop putting wrenches in cars?

My brother loves those monkey wrenches he seeks them out at yard sales and my grandfather kept a Fordson adjustable wrench on his AC as long as he was able to get on the seat. No sale prospect to either of them though. My brother is too tight and grandpa's dead.

We used to get wrench sets with our Ford and Fordson tractors long ago.

The larger double open end wrenches had raised increment markings for measuring length like a ruler. The Fordson ones had Imperial (inch) one side and metric on the other.

Here's a couple of uses for mine. Nothing too original....

Hook for welding helmet.


Bookends....(yawn).

Put them in your toolbox and use them.

What to do with old Ford wrenches<<<<<<<<I still use them for driving nails and straightening out a bent piece of steel.
