5/8 - 11/16
3/4 - 7/8
The A&E Manufacturing Company is a maker of ratcheting box wrenches and other tools, founded in 1932 by Daniel M. Lang and operating in Racine, Wisconsin. In the late 1940s A&E introduced a very successful line of ratcheting box wrenches based on patent 2,500,835, filed by John W. Lang in 1947 and issued in 1950. (Per the company website that shows a picture of this exact style wrench, the pending status refers to this patent. ) The Lang design was based on stamped flat steel pieces held together by rivets, providing both sturdy construction and economical production. The success of this design allowed A&E to become the major producer of ratcheting box wrenches. As a contract manufacturer A&E produces ratcheting box wrenches for many of the major tool companies and brands, including Armstrong, Craftsman, Klein Tools, OTC, Snap-on, and Williams.
