I bought this Ronson Alligator wrench more for the cool factor than for being an alligator wrench. This one is larger than the Ronsons I have in kit form, and it has more functions. Openings of 3/8, 15/16, 5/8, 17/32, a bottle opener, and an alligator jaw with screwdriver tip! In the center are two thread chasers of 1/2x 26tpi, and 5/16 x 32tpi.
The coolest part is the scaly gator on the face of it! I rubbed some sheetrock dust on it to try to bring up the pattern.
Marked on the reverse with Ronson Alligator - Patented.

That is really cool! Love the scales! Think I'll start keeping my eyes peeled for one of these!
Check DATAMP for design patent no. D52,157 ( http://www.datamp.org/patents/advance.php?pn=D52157&id=22745&set=3 ). Mr. Aronson really let his imagination go on this thing, didn't he?
There is a late production version with red & black paint that does not include the stamping of the scales.
Stan, do you think they ever produced any like the patent drawing?
