A crowfoot pipe wrench! Cool.
I've never seen one before...

a crowfoot version of a pipe wrench. must be for getting at pipes that are recessed where a regular wrench won't fit

To tell you the truth I bought it because it looked cool but didn't know what it was used for. Thanks for the info.

Cool find. Rigid made a crowfoot type pipe wrench at one time too.

never seen one before, My first thought was a fire hyd. wrench, But they are 5 sided I think. Nice to see a new tool that most people have never seen either.

I've seen them before. Don't own one. Kind of an Oxymoron in my book. A crude tool with a specialized adaptation.

That would be incorrect. . The proper adapter would be an I/R 3/4" impact!! LOL! ! J/k..
Actually thats pretty neat. . A guy could use that in a portable tool bag/box as you would have use of a pipe wrench without having to carry one with a large handle. I might have to try and find one for myself

Looks like it would be the only tool for the job, assuming the job happened to find you. Very cool.

Don't think that's going to replace a regular pipe wrench. It would be hard to get good leverage on it, and just plain awkward to use. Really only useful when there was no room to get a regular wrench in place.

Yep, that's a must have now that I've seen it.

It could replace two styles of pipe wrenches if you use a breaker bar with it. Darn nice find.

I have used similar for reaching in and removing or tighting pipes or other in a confined place a 24" 1/2" extension and a break over bar, can save a lot of headache,

The patent is from 1962, I thought it would be older.
