Trimo pipe wrench

[rick carpenter]

I need more pipe wrenches like I need a hole in my head but I picked up this 14" Trimont Trimo last Thursday in Little Mountain SC because I only had Ridgids and one Schick til then. It's in good shape and will make a fine user with it's sharp teeth. I don't know if I'll hit it with a brass wheel or a scotchbrite pad to clean the (very little) surface grime off. Other pics of Trimos can be found at http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=237938&highlight=trimont

(The no-name 6" try square has the brass wear plate coming off, I would ruin it trying to make it a user so it's future is as wall art.)

I'd try to leave the black paint unless you can tell its aftermarket, maybe a vinegar bath and wipedown. the 'ears' on the landing pad says post 1923 prodution IIRC
Cage, jaw sides and jaw slide surfaces came polished.

looks like your teeth are very good.
