Title: Papaw Cutout Wrench
Post by: Lewill2 on November 19, 2025, 06:24:05 PM
In case you have a big budget there is a Papaw cutout wrench up on eBay.

Were those prior to the site crash?  I remember the posts about them, but not the details.  I didn't get any results in a search.  Wonder how many were made.


Just found some posts in 2013, so after the crash.

I have one but I forget when they were offered on here. The original batch sold out and later there was discussion of having more made if there was enough interest, but I don't remember if more were made. If I remember correctly, they were around $100 back then.

That's kind of what I remembered.  I always get amazed how far things like these travel & how the cost/value changes.  So many of the old regulars on this site are now gone- more of the wrenches may hit the market if this one sells.  I'd still like to know how many were made.

I'm going to make a guess of less than 50.

Wow! I never would have thought I'd see another Papaw's Big Wrench in the wild. I still have the one that Pop got from John Secord (johnsironsanctuary) in 2013.

I bet a lot of us still have things from Papaw.

I have quite a pile of alligators and some PH tools that came  from him

I looked back at my personal messages on here and the PAPAWS cutout wrenches originally cost us $110. I'm still not sure a second batch was ever made or how many were in the first batch. 

The messages are dated March 25, 2013, and March 27, 2013, pertaining to the wrench.
