Title: 5 in 1 plier/wrench
Post by: john k on January 23, 2012, 10:49:41 PM

Was browsing through a book I've had for years, found this ad for a (5in1 plier/wrench type tool.  Anyone seen anything like this?  I've seen a wrench on a plier handle, screwdrivers, but nothing like this that was factory made.
