Another hardtop wrench question

[Henry S.]

Was Vlchek the exclusive producer for hardtop wrenches? I came across this Cornwell wrench that is amost identical in size to the other Vlcheck I have. One side has stampings of "7/16 EWB-1416 1/2" on one side and "CORNWELL 6 USA" on the other. Checking the archives I didn't see any others. I just figured (probably not a good idea) the "1416" on the Vlcheck was just an in house ID they used but seeing it on the Cornwell had me wondering.

Henry, 1416 is the Tool Industry standard to identify the size, by 32nds.
Example is 14/33nds= 7/16" & 16/32nds= 1/2" so a 1416 wrench is a 7/16" by 1/2". Lots of wrenches are identified this way.
