Default Thin 3/8" wrench

That's WRENCH, not wench you dirty minded garlic guzzling cigar chomping
old
pharts.

I've got a very thin (0.050") 3/8" wrench that has been in my toolbox

since
Eisenhower. Over the years, it has rounded its jaws off to the point

where
it is fairly useless. The maker of the wrench, one H.H. Smith in Brooklyn
NY no longer makes this tool.

Other than taking an ignition wrench and grinding it down, does anybody

have
a source for stamped thin metal wrenches?

I don't know where to buy a good one; but if you do have to grind down an
ignition wrench, which is quite likely, be sure to use plenty of coolant!

Otherwise the result is a very soft wrench, which is little better than
those stamped and punched things that are sold for emergency repair of
bicycles. :-(
