Joe,

First of all, you do not want any bristol wrench offered by harbor  
freight,even if they DID offer them.  Many of their tools are fine for  
the purposes they are made for, but in a bristol spline wrench, I  
strongly recommend you get the genuwine US made originals from:

Max Gain Systems

Search for "bristol" or go directly to their link at:

"Max-Gain Systems, Inc. sells the entire range of Bristol Wrench  
Company spline products"

I got the L wrenches (long) for the Hallicrafters radio I was  
overhauling, and also some extra the right size for the R-390A sets.   
Sorry I don't have my notes handy to tell you just which ones to  
order... the Halli knobs use one small FOUR flute one and a larger six  
flute one, neither of which is the 0.96 size used by the R-390 radios.

Accept no substitutes, get the best, deal with MaxGain.... great folks  
to buy from!

Roy
