Rotfuß - Swedish pattern pipe wrench
« on: June 25, 2015, 02:31:07 PM »
Another interesting pipe wrench  found today:



It is made in Germany but in the Swedish pattern.

The name of the maker makes it very difficult:



It is not Rotfuss but rotfuß

The first name seems to be Marko?

I am doing some research on the tool maker, but at this stage I have not found much:

(The last tool on the page.)

I love the feel and look of the tool and I would appreciate any info on it.
