Pretty clever designing there. So many of the old designs have been re-introduced (and many more thousands haven't), maybe this one will show up again one day ... at Sears.

Sounds like another one for Papaw!
Not exactly the same but the Superior Tool "SuperWrench" is pretty close:

Close enough that if I held the patent on the original 'automatic' pipe wrench, my feelings might be a little hurt. I didn't look closely at the wrench today to see how the movable parts interact on the new one. And I found it at Sears. Still, not anywhere near as cool without the wheel part.
