Many times I can’t tell a widget from a whirligig. But I very much appreciate hearing about the manufacturing history of the tools. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Billings also had a contact with craftsman in the 30’s I have a lot of Billings tools in my collection and I have a few Billings spencer and co wrenches and I love them
Good info and comparison. I'm wondering if Billing used better materials, the bending won't occur as easily. Seems like there are a couple of companies are making Billings style wrenches that look pretty good.
I need to properly restore mine still, but I find the jaws open way wider than the same size crescent until you get into the extra wide channellock wideazz and bahcos.
I love finding real old gems like that at yard sales, or etc. old old 1960’s and older. Real cool stuff man!

Had some Billings tools years ago, but sadly they got away from me. Great review. It brings back some fun memories. Ty.

I have a couple of these. Would never use them however. These are too bulky and they like to open/close while using them.

The small is called a bicycle wrench I restored a cupple of them
And the next size up was called an automotive wrench and then the largest was called a locomotive wrench.
