WOW! Not kidding about the 'large wrench' part!

 

[CNGsaves]

Since it's already painted orange . . . . AND . . . you're in Cincinnati . . . . . then it looks like YOUR responsibility as GJ member to buy the beast and re-do your garage in Cincinnati Bengals theme !!

I can envision the Bengal logo in middle of that wrench hanging on wall as centerpiece of your entire garage.

Go for it!!

I was thinking it would be a great post for my mailbox.

 

[nine4gmc]

I'd buy it...

 

[bahcoswed]

Has someone paint it or is it that color original? This is brutal

 

[jakemac]

How do you use a 100# wrench ? and what do you use it on ?

 

[skorpio]

Needs to be bought by someone who will send it out to be chromed.

 

[zoomieport]

Wow! If it was closer...

 

[thundermug]

Looks like a promotional item or a 1948 World's Fair "Largest Wrench" display gimmick. Either way, damn cool.

 

[msnow]

I have a williams wrench that is 4-1/4". I have not had the opportunity to use it yet but maybe one day. I paid 15 dollars for it. If someone wants to send me this one I will be able to use a wrench on the nut and bolt head which would be convenient haha. cheers

 

[MJB24]

No lobster claw on that thing

 

[Steevo]

There is a surplus place I know of that has one like that (even painted orange) hanging on the wall.
I have tried to buy it at least a dozen times but they won't sell.

 

[turbowoodworker]

Gotta have big nuts to use that wrench! Sorry just had to say it.

 

[Mopar-Scooby-Doo]

I love how it's painted orange so you don't loose it. Like you could really misplace one that big.

Someone needs to buy this before I do!

Yes, I'm glad that isn't in my neighbourhood. $200 is a little much, but I'd probably end up paying it if the seller was firm. Can't say I like the orange either.

 

[TheGr8erG00d]

Wow! That thing is too cool.

 

[ford guy]

Wow....I want to see the tool box he stores that wrench in!!

Oh, yea, if I still lived in North East Ohio, it would be mine!

[sponfit]

I want it

 

[devoncoolman]

Awsome. I would pay $100 but $200 is a little high for a useless wall hanger.

 

[rsanter]

I have seen wrenches that size and bigger for use on ships. My guess is that it was to be used and not just a promo item
If it was strictly promo I would think they could have forged it semi-hollow on the back side to save weight



Wrenches that size are intended to be handled by a couple of guys

[jabberwoki]

I agree if it was $100 ok but $200...
Way cool though.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

I live in Cincinnati and I am passing up on this one.

 

[jeremy v]

I would buy it if it was a little bit longer. As it is I think I will pass, because I can't put a cheater on it, and it seems a little on the short side to achieve the required torque to bust loose a 5-1/2" bolt by hand. It is hard to imagine that thing actually being useful in the real world, so it must have been a promotional piece of some sort.

 

[HubbaBubba]

Watch it. If it doesn't sell go in for the KILL!

 

[Tunger]

Fasteners of that size are somewhat common on ships, powerplants, etc. Take a peek at Ingersoll rand's 2 1/2" drive impact for an idea of the size/torque requirements of some of those fasteners.

That is simply a holding wrench for the big fasteners used on ships and other huge equipment. get it on the nut or bolt head, and rest the other end on the desk. then get an impact on on it to do the work...

 

[Outlawmws]

And I agree about $100 would be my limit, and it would be a super cool push bar on a truck at the races!

 

[zkling]

Agree it is super cool, but not $200 cool to me. $20 and it would be mine, but much more than that No real use for it. Plus I wouldn't want to use it being open ended, it may round off the nut/bolt, only closed 12pt wrenches for me.

Heck that thing has to induce ~100ft*lbs of torque just from its weight alone.

Take a peek at Ingersoll rand's 2 1/2" drive impact

I want to see it in full impacting operation.

 

[eborcim]

You need to adopt that wrench!

 

[ajchien]

Wow! If it was closer...

Just use a flat rate box.

 

[bglad]

What does that thing weigh?

 

[Outlawmws]

The ad claims > 100 lbs, I'd have to see it on a scale to believe it though. Over 50, no doubt, maybe 70?
