中文简体Chrome Alloy Car Repair Tools
A high-quality set of wrenches and a ratchet screwdriver are all that's required to complete most common auto repairs. They're made of heat-treated and chrome-plated alloy steel for strength and corrosion resistance. A flawless chrome finish extends tool life and reduces fastener rounding.
Herbrand's Alloy Steel Line
Herbrand made a number of tools from the late 1800s through the early 1930s, including open-end wrenches, angle-head wrenches, and specialty wrenches and pliers. Most of them were made for the high-end automotive market, though some were marketed to large volume retailers such as Western Auto Supply.
Van-Chrome Trademark
Herbrand was one of the first companies to produce tools in chrome-vanadium steel, and their efforts were rewarded with a trademark of the same name in 1929. The most recognizable of these tools was the open-end wrench weighing in at a whopping ten ounces, with a three-inch hex head to boot.
The Herbrand H-Diamond logo
In addition to producing a slew of other quality products, Herbrand was also known for their high-quality forged tools. The aforementioned open-end wrench, for instance, was crafted from a high-quality alloy called AISI 8742.
Using the right metals for the job was critical to the success of Herbrand tools, and they did this with style. In the late 1920s, Herbrand began experimenting with heat treatment to improve the corrosion and abrasion resistance of their tools. The company was also able to produce a nifty new product called the “stylish” hammer, which was forged from an alloy containing tungsten and titanium for enhanced performance.
In fact, a number of Herbrand tools were made from the same alloy and some of them even boasted the company's patented slant-back design. In fact, some of these tools were a better fit for the hand than their predecessors, and this may have been attributed to the improved strength of the new alloy.
