Wrench?
« on: March 03, 2012, 05:14:04 PM »
I got this whatever today for a buck, thought it's worth that much just in the challenge of finding out what it is. No markings of any kind on it. Did some searches and came up blank- came to the conclusion I really know very little about older tools. That being said I will defer to the very knowledgable membership here if you would like to help. Thanks

Does turning the outer part of the handle clamp the jaws together ?

Some type of clamp ?

 I have one like that and it is unmarked as well. Schultz shows two and just says "German made wrenchs"

It is certainly worth a lot more than the buck you have in it.

Ray, Yes you turn the knurled part to open and close the jaws. Being that its a wrench why would they make it two sided?
Thank you all for the answers.

A carriage wrench, but I also don't really know what the point of the double opening was supposed to be either. I can't see any way it helps you remove an axle nut....

As I recall, it's a French design, and who can figure out the French?  Maybe Billman, our resident French expert,
can find a clue.
