? what brand are these?
« on: April 19, 2014, 12:46:32 PM »
Got these two together but are no manufacturing marks that I can see except for a faint tag on the 8" one that kind of looks like the Ridgid tags, stampings, or whatever you call them. Seems to be goldish in coloring.

Yeah, I've been studying the minute differences in pipe wrenches for a couple of years now as I've been intending to start a comprehensive thread on the topic...

Your unmarked wrenches share at least three significant design features with known Toledo products: the shape of the "cheek" design, the knurling on the nut and the flared ends.

An earlier example:




And an example from after the merger with Beaver...:
