36" Wright Tool adjustable wrench.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this thing. One of our mech's ordered it. No one knows why, but I'm guessing someone got a part number wrong because it's being sent back. Is a beast for sure, made all out of plate steel.

 

[davethorik]

that is surprisingly crude! but still neat

 

[absolutelybillsmood]

You might need a cheater bar with a wrench that small

 

[jayrush13]

It would sure save room versus having to have a bunch of big sizes of wrench like in a service truck

You'd think that Wright would provide a cheater bar with it.

That is what I thought too. If I understand the picture, it is just pinned at different intervals for different sizes?

They did.

The hole in the end of the handle is for a shackle. Attach to overhead crane and haul away.

Seriously? What was the intended application? I searched that part number and it appears they make it in a traditional thumb screw design as well. Even wright calls it a giant wrench.

Back before hydraulic wrenches. Note the pad eye near the open end for balancing the wrench:

Cranes are also a leading cause of broken 60" pipe wrenches.

It looks suspiciously like the OTC version:

You can get one from Epstein for $550!

So, for the **** types here that are compelled to close their adjustable wrenches before putting them away, how big of a pain in the *** would this wrench be?

From what I've seen, the second leading cause being excavators.

We paid over $900 so I guess that's a good deal!

How to tell the difference:

If the broken wrench is covered in grease: Overhead crane.

If the broken wrench is covered in mud: Excavator.

Got a link to a thumbwheel version? I don't recall seeing one and can't find it.as far as I know the banco/blue point 30" is the biggest thumbwheel available. Thanks.

Looks like it, I was thinking like a big crescent wrench, not this...

Good lord, I wouldn't want to be in the same shop as that setup. What if it came off the side of the fastener? That thing would do some damage!

Cranes are also a leading cause of broken 60" pipe wrenches.

Laugh but at work we use the crane to torque up connections up to 1200 ft lbs with a 72" pipe wench and a torque gauge between the wrench and crane. We got hydraulic breakout and torque machines to do higher torque connections.

Not to criticize, but why would you use a pipe wrench and the crane to torque things if you have a hydraulic setup? Sounds kind of dumb from a safety standpoint.

Now I can round off the corners on even bigger bolts. Hopefully they make 48" vice grips.

 

[tbaggz]

The amazon pic is a 10" 9ac10. The 36 is pinned style.

Funniest comment of the day!!!

With that pinned head design, I don't see why there would be any play in the jaws. Thus, it shouldn't be anymore likely to round off a bolt, than a dedicated size open end wrench.
