That bar clamp is made in Mejico now. Torillo bros.
Damn fine clamp !
The design of that pipe wrench is excellent too .

 

[neophyte]

The pipe wrench looks like a design that is still made by Reed, that they refer to as a "one hand wrench". It looks like that one may be slightly more adjustable than the Reed design, maybe to cover more sizes. This is the Reed wrench. Reed has probably been making them for close to a hundred years.

cool pipewrench good for tight quarters but it will either turn the fitting/pipe or crush it depending on torque.

Can't see any markings on the wrench on this tiny phone screen.
Around 1900 - WW1, there was a company in Providence RI that made -wrenches- like that.
Lind wrench co ?? I think .
