My new wrench

[john k]

Well it isn't big enough to hang it over the door, but I might anyhow.  If I do, it will be lag bolted to the studs for sure.  Found this in a flea market this past weekend, along with a few more nice things.   It is hefty, jaw opening of 2-1/4 in., is 16 inches long, and flame cut from 3/4 inch steel plate.   Then someone with very limited torch ability carved into the jaw.  There are traces of Olive Drab paint, and am thinking this is known as a Little Joe wrench.   Used for adjusting the track tension on an M-60 Army tank.  I used one often enough, I should remember.   Next is to put it on a scale.  Definitely one of the heavier wrenches I've ever had follow me home.  Anyone else have one?  Or know for sure about the Little Joe?

That doesn't sound like fun at all, even when not in 12 inches of mud ;P

Another wrench with a story to tell.......
