Short background on the manufacturer
Proto Tools, now a division of Stanley Black & Decker, was founded in 1907 in Los Angeles as the Plomb Tool Company. Proto is credited with inventing the first combination wrench in 1933 and has built a reputation for producing high-quality, professional-grade hand tools. Over the decades, Proto has been a preferred brand among industrial users, mechanics, and tradespeople for its durability, innovation, and American manufacturing legacy.
Release date or age of item
Proto's 500 Series wrenches have been in production for several decades, with the combination wrench design dating back to the 1930s. The specific 1222–1210 models in this set are most commonly associated with production runs from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Exact dating is difficult due to Proto's lack of a public date code system, but this set likely dates from the late 20th century.
