From the book "Machinery" volume 22 (google books):

Pretty clever designing there. So many of the old designs have been re-introduced (and many more thousands haven't), maybe this one will show up again one day ... at Sears.

Not exactly the same but the Superior Tool "SuperWrench" is pretty close:

Close enough that if I held the patent on the original 'automatic' pipe wrench, my feelings might be a little hurt. I didn't look closely at the wrench today to see how the movable parts interact on the new one. And I found it at Sears. Still, not anywhere near as cool without the wheel part.

Nah, maybe not.
