We have seen Lobster brand wrenches, but this is my first  rodent family tool.

Any other animal brand tools out there?

I had an Elephant brand adjustable.  I gave it to a friend from India.  I have a Swallow brand DBE wrench.  In Great Britain they had Snail Brand tools. Also in GB, Garrington named.their wrenches after birds. KESTREL, PUFFIN, ETC...
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

I guess Jaguar would qualify as an animal.

Asian manufacturers seem to have an affinity for animal names: Lobster (excellent adjustables, BTW), Swallow, Crab

And let's not forget about our own U.S. made "Buffalo"

check my list for others

Don't forget that Snap-on called their 3/8 drive tools "Ferret" for some reason.

The official wrenches of gray-haired women who are still lusty and on the prowl?

Flying Swallow

I picked this up at an estate sale.  I liked the look and feel of the wrench.  Haven't seen another one since.
