Title: Lectrolite Pipe Wrench
Post by: Bad 31 on February 18, 2017, 07:42:51 PM

Being a SK collector, I also keep my eyes open for Lectrolite and TruFit. Well, I found this pipe wrench this week and I had no idea they made such a tool. I guess we just keep learning.

I have only seen a few Lectrolite tools over the years. Most of them were open and box end wrenches. As i go thru my stash, I will keep my eyes open for any S&K related tools.

Thank You sir. I do wish there was a place I could go look and see what all a company did produce. I've started checking everything now when I'm on a tool hunt.

Have you checked out the Alloy Artifacts website. Over 5,000 pictures of mechanics type tools. I have found the site very helpful with identifying and dating tools.

A lot of older automobiles used pipe fittings here and there; I have an 8" pipe wrench that was a standard tool in my kit for years, when I was running the Studebaker truck.  Less use for it in recent years, though.
