Description: |
This pliers type combination tool includes an axle nut wrench, other wrench functions, pliers, pincers, hammer, screwdriver, and wire cutter.
One example is pictured (no. 825) in Schulz's "Antique & Unusual Wrenches;" another is shown (no. 76) in "Collectors Guide For Fencing Tools" by Richard Smith Sr. & Jr. of Walnut Grove, MO.
A combination tool marked J C BROWNS that bears a striking resemblance to this patent may be a later production after the patent expired. It does not include the axle nut gripping features. |
