Old rack wrench
« on: January 24, 2016, 03:25:00 PM »
Seems like I've seen this one pictured before, but I can't recall where. It's about 7 inches long, with a quick-adjust rack on the moving jaw. Squeezing the handles causes the jaw to pivot closed. No markings though, and I don't find it listed in Schulz. Anybody have any info on it?

I've seen them before, but no ID. 
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

There was a Kilborn & Bishop in New haven. Made an adjustable, but a little different, and the K&B Saxon alligator wrench.
