Title: Old rack wrench
Post by: Plyerman on January 24, 2016, 03:25:00 PM

Seems like I've seen this one pictured before, but I can't recall where. It's about 7 inches long, with a quick-adjust rack on the moving jaw. Squeezing the handles causes the jaw to pivot closed. No markings though, and I don't find it listed in Schulz. Anybody have any info on it?

I've seen them before, but no ID.

There was a Kilborn & Bishop in New haven. Made an adjustable, but a little different, and the K&B Saxon alligator wrench.

Yep, I think that stamping on the ebay one reads Kilborn & Bishop Co. Thanks fellows!  :wink:
