Title: A few years back, maybe, but I think probably not now.

Not as rare as they were thought to be. Plus, by now most of the big money should have theirs, so unless they are running them up to protect the value of their own, I'd bet the value isn't there. The ones that pay $1625 at the meet are also the ones that shy away from computers. Last few on ebay haven't hardly even touched his opening bid price.

That's just it, those of us that still need and want it don't have that kind of money to spend on a single wrench. I want one too, but even $200 is just to much for a wrench that has no local ties for me. Be interesting to see if the big money guys protect the value of theirs by buying this one. With all that is going on in the world, and the plethora of wrenches hitting the market in the past 10 years, I personally see the day of the $1,000 implement wrench disappearing, but this may be one (also the TR590) that stays right up in that area. Monkey wrenches may stay way up there because of the number of monkey collectors.

That's a silly question.....

You feed them nuts of course, some of them have pretty strong jaws.
