Tru-Fit wrench

[bonneyman]

I found a Tru-Fit DBE wrench recently, and am wondering about it. Looks to be quality construction, and the plating is nice. Shorty, deep offset 12 point in 1/2" x 9/16". (I tend to collect 1/2 x 9/16   )

Are these worth collecting? I don't need another set - my Indestro shorty's are more than up to the task. But if they're common enough I might try to make a set up to 3/4". Since I'm so lazy I figured I'd just ask you guys instead of hunting a pecking around the internet.

There are plenty of collectors for "Tru Fit Lectrolite" stamped wrenches, but I don't know whether that wrench is from the actual Lectrolite era, or a later cheaper (budget) Tru-Fit version (i.e. without the Lectrolite stamping), and whether those budget tools are collectible or not.

I've found that the shorties have a limited size in their sets for DBE. Usually grouped to be a set of 3. The size smaller and larger than what you have. I've not seen a 3/4 shorty other than in a combo stubby set.

OK that lines up with what I just found on ebay. There's one smaller and one larger. Ending at 11/16".

I might have that exact same wrench myself. I have a few of the brand that look as that one does. All were bought used and I have used various ones of them through the years. Quality is fine and they work well. I do not consider them junk or they would not be in my box. I do not know that I would choose to collect them though. They are not showgirls by any means. But they are good workers.
