Was browsing through a book I've had for years, found this ad for a (5in1 plier/wrench type tool. Anyone seen anything like this? I've seen a wrench on a plier handle, screwdrivers, but nothing like this that was factory made.
Plenty here- http://www.multi-tool.org/vintage-combination-tools (http://www.multi-tool.org/vintage-combination-tools)
At the Multi-Tool Museum.

I would like to find one with the adjustable on the handle.

Wow Bus! I would give my eye teeth for any one of those wrenches. Nice collection.
