Proto Saltus Wrenches

[Cruiser808]

Found these at a garage sale earlier this year. Not a full set, but walked away with these and $12 dollars lighter.

Nice! I have a mutt set of Saltus wrenches going. (Bonney, SK, Proto, Mac, Truecraft, Williams)

Been at least a year since I finished the set and haven't used one once yet. Figured I'd try the mix and match set - if they worked well I'd spring for a nice name brand group. I guess that ain't happening.

Though, if a Bonney set became available I'd probably grab it on principle.

You "stole" those wrenches - great work!!

I've got a few of the saltus style. I like them for certain things. Each chainsaw box has a saltus in it for chain adjustments. No Protos tho. And yeah you stole those.

I love Saltus wrenches and would buy Proto all day long for $3 each, heck of a deal. I have a mutt set of SnapOn, MAC and others. I use the 10mm and 1/2 on battery terminal clamps.

What sizes are your, Cruiser? I have two Protos in 11/16 and 9/16. If you need those sizes for your set, let me know. I'm not married to them.

Wow....a 7/8" version. I've not seen them larger than 3/4" before. I have only 2 in metric, but I'll buy everyone I can get my hands on. I did recently pick up a set of MAC Sabina OH ones the other day. Do they get used? Nope, not a single time, but there is always hope.

I have Snap on up to 15/16". Mac made them up to 1-1/4

I've always liked the Saltus wrenches.

I rarely see them in any brand and never for 3 a copy.

Geez! What the heck needed a nut that big...and then buried it so only a Saltus wrench could reach it?

Hi Bonneyman - the sizes range from 11/16 to 7/8. So far, I’ve only found a need for the 3/4 and 13/16.

I bought a set of Challenger saltus wrenches probably thirty years ago and have never reached for any of them enough to ever use every size. Cool wrenches, glad I have them, don't know why, toolbox bling?

I would have thought I would use them, just too used to grabbing DBE wrenches I guess, then later gearwrenches.

+1 on that UB. But they were Protos and I couldn't walk away from them. For some reason, I really like Proto stuff.
