Manufactured by Utilitool Company - Chicago IL

The tool combines jaw segments with two different jaw styles with handles that can be rotated so that either pair of jaws can be used. The handle ends can be formed as conventional screwdriver and tack claw. Versions of the patent were granted in several countries. British patent 27,540 of 1913 (GB-191327540) granted to Wernimont and William Rauen provides some insight into early production, with Wernimont and Rauen forming the Wernimont-Rauen Co. at Chicago. Some marketed as UTILITOOL from Jefferson, WI or Chicago (Utilitool showed a Chicago address in the early 1920s ) -- some produced by Utility Tool Company of Chicago. UTILITOOL was submitted for trademark by the Utilitool Co. in 1921. Improved by patent no. 1,514,488, which adds supplemental supporting structure to the connection between the jaw and handle pieces.
