Title: Pexto 4" Adjustable
Post by: J.A.F.E. on February 26, 2012, 10:56:19 PM
I have a small collection of 4" adjustables. I am often surprised at the brands I see. The biggest surprise in the collection came when I found this Pexto/Peck Stowe and Wilcox adjustable. I didn't know they even made adjustables much less 4's so this was a very happy surprise. The price the vendor wanted though was much less happy. It's the most I've ever paid for a 4 but no way could I walk away. (I believe "but no way could I walk away" is code for sucker.)

In any even Pexto is a favored brand and I was excited to find it.

I would have dug deep to take that one home too.  If you don't buy it when you see it, it haunts you for years!

And when will you see another one?  That's the trouble with a love for old things.  I was going to be good with
my money at a flea market, only get what I could use, but I found a pair of Eifel gear wrench pliers in really
good shape...

Nice 4-incher!  They are where you find, aren't they?  I have found them in flea markets, widow's basements, and auctions, and they are always a surprise when they turn up, particularly RIDGID and Knight & Bishop brand 4-inchers.
