this was part of the big lot that I purchased. Going to go up for sale soon.. Anyone have an idea of its value? Mom not included.... Unless the price is right of course :)
-
WOW!!! That's a big'un!
-
Any marks on it? Almost has to be railroad. To the right person you could sell it by the pound!
-
For ignition points on a VW.

I wouldn't rule out a pumping unit in an oil context. I have an EMSCO wrench over 6' designed for a pumping unit (3-1/2" opening).
-
I have this photo in my files. I don't know where I got it, probably from someone here.
-
I will say the wrench does not look hand made. Appears that the opening is punched. Look for it on Fee-bay here in a couple days. I dont have room for it.

Funny you should post that today ! I saw a guy a work today with a 4' pipe wrench, had to be aluminum the way he carried it.
Tried to get a pic but took a movie instead.... I couldn't handle the pressure of trying to get a quick pic!
So Carl, no shed to hang that wrench over the door of ??? You will never see one again !

Could it be for tightning the gangs on a disc, discer or old oneway?? Would not need pipe extension.
-
I suppose thats possible. Im still leaning towards steam locomotive or oil well. Either way it has an $80 bid on Fee-bay. Someone will love it.

We had a couple 48" steel pie wrenchs but don't remember ever using them. Bout the only one who could use it would of been our lead plumber, he could use a pair of 36 inchers over his head and not blink an eye. He was powerful as a bull.

Do you have the matching box end ?

This summer I saw and (grunt!) lifted a Williams 22B wrench. 52 inches long, 7-5/8 opening and 149 lbs. I have a picture of me holding it. It was in Altoona PA, where the big railroad shops for the PRR were, and still are operated by NS.

I have a shorter wrench that is similar to that, but homemeade. The farm auciton I attended and endid up winning it for a dollar. Auctioneer said it was a "combine" wrench. You know as much as I do.....

I sold it on ebay for $75. Was a pain to ship.

Probably just as much for shipping as the purchase price.
-
USPS shipping was actually more. I shipped it FedEx for around $40
-
A wrench similar to that is used on old IH Crawlers to undo a big nut on the final drive. Did you look for any marks on it?

In our trade we call those guys that can handle big wrenches fitters. If someone can't handle the 36" wenches, how are they going to be able to handle the big wrenches in the air? We are partial to aluminum wrenches, though.
