Pretty decent condition considering. Those little "wings" on the adjust wheel are a bear to get back in.

Thanks for the info. I like this 6" size. I'm pretty sure it's the first one of theirs i've found. Now i'll have to keep my eyes open for other sizes.

Keep an eye out for the Trimo Emergency Wrench.

He might be referring to one like this. This is a Millea's Emergency Tool.

That interesting, first one I've ever seen.

I have one very similar. Not sure what brand it is and it's too late right now to go out to the shed and check.

Links in this reply go to FLICKR images. End of the TRIMO EMERGENCY handle unscrews to reveal a screwdriver within (https://www.flickr.com/photos/mvwcnews/8415093617). The Gas Fitter's version (https://www.flickr.com/photos/mvwcnews/8424640766 ) with a slot in the handle & a blade to clean the slot in gas light burners ca. 1895 is even rarer (only heard of two examples in 20 years). I was acting as absentee bidder agent on a sale where a Gas Fitter's sold & though I wanted it for myself was honor bound to let it go to the absentee on whose behalf I was bidding.
Walworth also made a 6 inch Stillson pipe wrench with screwdriver concealed within an extended end cap. I have four variants of that one & at least one TRIMO EMERGENCY.

I wasn't aware of the Walworth version orthe Gas fitter's Trimo. More items to add to my watch list.

Here is a 14" Trimo that is stamped USN on the handle that I keep in my Navy toolbox.

That's nice. I'll definitely have to keep my eyes open for more (something else to erm, collect).

I have the big brother to yours, exact in every way, in 10" and I like to swap.

Here is a Trimo ad from 1935 and a few more wrenches
