Title: two for the price of one
Post by: jcs0001 on November 01, 2016, 12:58:30 AM: I attended our local "flea" market yesterday and found this:

and this:

Interestingly they came as one tool:

It's a combination 6 and 8 inch Crescent wrench. Should be handy.

Great find!

The wrenches come in 4 sizes, 4/6 inch, 6/8 inch, 8/10 inch and 10/12 inch. They are considered a novelty now. They are very collectable. Good to great examples are easily sold for top dollar. There are other double ended adjustable wrench examples, but not in this style/configuration.

Post by: jcs0001 on November 15, 2016, 01:47:34 AM: Yadda - thanks for the information. It is quite useful as I often grab an adjustable wrench that is a bit small.

David - Couldn't pass it up.

Def - it definitely says 6 -8 in. That would make it 15.24 - 20.32 - pretty confusing particularly for the non metric group :D

Sparky - not heavy enough for a hammer - my wife's rolling pin is much handier.
