OTC 7431 adjustable wrench vs. metric nuts?

[Hetman]

I found an offer on a used one but I need it only for metric. Since it doesn't have thumbscrew but is adjustable only in fixed sizes, I'd like to know the sizes - how close I can get to metric?
OTC site doesn't even list this wrench ...

D*, I cannot edit the topic, correct tool model is 7341.

Without searching the number, arn't those giantic wrenches, like 24" or 36" long? Don't get me wrong, they are cool and if I found one cheap would buy it, but what would you actually use it for?

More information would be good, what size nuts are you talking about? The larger the nut, the more you can be off and it still will work.

My second google search turned up something...

Where are you working on metric nuts that big, and what do you normally use? Just curious.

 

[Hetman]

Yea, that's the wrench :E . 36", nut size up to 4-3/4".

I need to turn a few 60mm flange nuts in old pipes, it's a bit small for this wrench but if I can get this offer cheap... I can't find any other big tools near me .

I can't get any info from the seller, got only pics. How much would you pay for one?

Looks like that one has been on one size for several years, will probably have to hat that bolt to be able to get full use.

I have no problems with scrapping original bolt and using a new one. I'm not a collector .

Well 60mm is darn close to 2 3/8" so since that wrench adjusts in SAE increments it will fit quite close, close enough I would think. BTW the difference is 13 thousandths of an inch.

Except the weblink above says the minimum size is 2 3/4 guess it won't work.

Wow, and I thought I was just being a smartass when I'd use the term "metric adjustable wrench".

I have the 24" version of that wrench and I would just rather use a pipe wrench.

 

[Hetman]

I'm starting to think about a pipe wrench too...

PIPE WRENCH that sh%t!

i pity the foo!

You can also take a 2 1/4" wrench if that's what u got lying around and grind it out to fit your 60mm.
