Democratic Sentinel, Volume 19, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 June 1895 — A NEW WRENCH [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

A NEW WRENCH

Which Will Commend Itself to Machinists and Artisans of All Kinds. The wrench here illustrated has some features that deserve the attention of steamfitters and other users of that necessary tool. It is made of crucible steel, with hardened jaws, the fatter being smooth, so as not to injure fittings or nuts. ; , The wrench may be adjusted tofift

any size of pipe or nuts, and while tho jaws hold firmly, they do not lock upon the pipe or crush it. Figure 1 shows the wrench in use on a pipe, and figure 2on a nut. When used on pipes, the gripping point of the wrench is placed to the size of the pipe as marked on the side of the hook. When used upon nuts there is no possibility of slipping. Another decided advantage in the use of this wrench is that it may be sharpened on a grindstone or an emery wheel without taking it apart

ADJUSTABLE WRENCH.
