HeelSpur, when you go tool hunting again, keep that wrench in your shirt pocket to
remind you to take another look at your next buy.

been  there, done that, ouch !

Yea, what are the odds I'll find another. If I can find a jaw somewhere that would be sweet.

Bah, that little crack on such a fantastic wrench isn't anything to fret about. (Unless you bought it as a "user" of course.) I'd go ahead and display it and never think twice about the crack. Probably no one will even notice unless you point it out.  (-:

Keep it cause it is cool, and to remind yourself to look more closely.
