And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A lot of companies had their own branded wrenches. Ford wrenches are pretty common. Fun to collect in the 70's, 80's, 90's. Have quite a few early American wrenches. ( Historical note: there were very few American tools made before 1840's until the first foundries were built in the northeast. Almost all tools were imported from europe.) Actually the original "wrenches" were medieval bars with ends shaped to twist bars out of castle doors and windows in war. (The 10mm wrench was built shortly thereafter.) Bubbarust
