Description
Vintage Two Adjustable Monkey Wrenches. They're functional but mostly retired from modern toolboxes in favor of lighter, more ergonomic adjustable wrenches. Crescent Adjustable Smooth Jaw Monkey Wrenches are designed for geometric fasteners with a cosmetic finish. Smooth, large capacity jaws prevent damage to fittings from traditional toothed jaws, and the large knurl allows for easy adjustment and a tight jaw fit. There are two vintage adjustable wrenches, often referred to as monkey wrenches. These were commonly used before the modern adjustable crescent wrench became popular. Characteristics: These have a straight handle and a rack-and-pinion style jaw adjustment, typical of monkey wrenches. They're made of heavy steel or iron and were widely used in plumbing, rail, and machine maintenance in the early-to-mid 20th century. Notes: These are often collectible. They're functional but mostly retired from modern toolboxes in favor of lighter, more ergonomic adjustable wrenches.
