Unusual/interesting vintage adjustable wrench

[MattVette89]

This is *not* mine, I saw it in an auction ad. I've never seen one like it so I thought I'd share it. Anyone else have any info? It's a 4" adjustable, and has a triangle, square, and two hex cut-outs (stampings/forgings?) in the handle.

Matt: never seen one and I have more than a few Crescent wrenches. looks pretty interesting though and handy for a sort of ALL IN ONE TOOL.

I've seen a lot of older tools as well, but I've never seen that. I was hoping someone might have some info, just for curiosity's sake.

Matt, post it on tooltalk, those guys will know all you want to know about it.

Thanks, twertsy. I'm not a member on there, just figured I'd share it here if anyone else thought it was interesting.

That wrench was made in Germany. That's all I know.

Good info, thanks!

Those cutouts in the handle may be there so the wrench can be used to open/close a valve that is missing its handle.

X2. I've seen similar ones.

I figured it was a specialty tool and made for a purpose.

Someone bought the lot on eBay and it wasn't me. We may never know.
