The Correct Wrenches for the 63 B Toolkit

#1 Post by Peter Silten »

Eric Cherneff’s website – 356tools – has a photo (see below) which shows the correct DIN 895 wrenches for the 63B toolkit. https://www.356tools.com/wrenches/T6Bwrenches.jpg
These wrenches match the wrenches in my present 63B toolkit, which I have owned for 50+ years, and one I sold many years ago. They also match the wrenches in the 63B toolkits of several friends I contacted. No exceptions. The 63B toolkit that recently sold on BaT contains three wrenches that are stamped “DIN 895” and “Germany.” The 8/9mm wrench is just stamped “DIN 895.” I believe that the three DIN 895 + Germany wrenches are not correct for the 63B toolkit. FWIW, I did a quick Google search and found some brand-new DIN 895 + Germany wrenches that look similar to the three in the BaT 63B toolkit. (https://www.bloomertool.com/DIN-895-Ope ... nches.html) I would be interested in hearing what others who are familiar with the 63B toolkit have to say.

The wrenches pictured are correct and match the wrenches from 213720. They are stamped "DIN 895" on one side and do not say "Germany" anywhere.
In addition, the original wrenches appear to be Parkerized and do not have a black oxide coating as pictured on the Bloomer Tool website.
