Description
A RARE 48" RIDGE TOOL CO. PIPE WRENCH UP FOR GRABS!MEASURES 42 1/2" CLOSED AND OPENS UP TO AN IMPRESSIVE 6" AT THE JAWS FOR A TOTAL LENGTH OF 48 1/2" OPEN.
THE JAWS SHOW NO WEAR WITH NICE EVEN TEETH.
THIS WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OVER WHEN I FOUND IT AT A LOCAL FARM AUCTION.
I REMOVED ALL THE RUST AND HEAT TREATED IT WITH BEES WAX.
UPON CLEANING, A SMALL BRASS BRAZED REPAIR AREA WAS DISCOVERED. THE BRAZE WAS ROUGH AND IT TOO WAS SMOOTHED OUT BETTER. I BELIEVE THAT THIS REPAIR WAS MADE MANY YEARS AGO TO MEND A SMALL HAIRLINE..THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THERE EVER BEING A LARGE CRACK.
I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL 36" RIDGE TOOL PIPE WRENCHES OVER THE YEARS ON EBAY, BUT NEVER A 48".
MY SCALE IS DOWN AT THE MOMENT, BUT I WOULD SAY THIS WEIGHS IN AROUND 40LBS.
THIS WILL SHIP UPS GROUND, SO A PHYSICAL ADDRESS PLEASE-NO P.O. BOXES.
PLEASE LOOK AT MY OTHER LARGE WRENCH I CURRENTLY HAVE LISTED.
