Were those prior to the site crash?  I remember the posts about them, but not the details.  I didn't get any results in a search.  Wonder how many were made.


Just found some posts in 2013, so after the crash.

I have one but I forget when they were offered on here. The original batch sold out and later there was discussion of having more made if there was enough interest, but I don't remember if more were made. If I remember correctly, they were around $100 back then.

That's kind of what I remembered.  I always get amazed how far things like these travel & how the cost/value changes.  So many of the old regulars on this site are now gone- more of the wrenches may hit the market if this one sells.  I'd still like to know how many were made.

I'm going to make a guess of less than 50.

Wow! I never would have thought I'd see another Papaw's Big Wrench in the wild. I still have the one that Pop got from John Secord (johnsironsanctuary) in 2013.

Somehow there's always someone who can do things thought impossible, simply because they do not realize that they should be incapable of the achievement.

I bet a lot of us still have things from Papaw.

I have quite a pile of alligators and some PH tools that came  from him

I looked back at my personal messages on here and the PAPAWS cutout wrenches originally cost us $110. I'm still not sure a second batch was ever made or how many were in the first batch. 

The messages are dated March 25, 2013, and March 27, 2013, pertaining to the wrench.
