Did the original tool kit come with a Crescent wrench or was that added?

    When I got my 4runner among all the normal tools I got was a crescent wrench. While I think that's a good tool to have, it's a bit junky and I have a light weight skeletonized lobster wrench that would be perfect for the job.

    If the wrench I have is original to the 4runner I'll set it aside with the other original parts I kept. If it's something an owner added at some point I wont care as much about keeping track of it.

    What brand crescent wrench? Made in Japan? China? Taiwan? USA?
    I got a tool kit with a Volvo Marine Diesel engine that had 2 open end wrenches for valve rocker arm adjustments and the valve cover bolts.
    My 5th gen did not get a crescent wrench.

    It's an old KMC wrench made in Korea. Not a brand that seems to be around anymore.

    I can fit them both in the tool kit so if I need to hold a nut on one side and a bolt on the other, I'll be able to.
