The listing

The price for ALL FOUR of the pipe wrenches below is $40. I won't sell individual wrenches, so please don't ask. This price is firm and non-negotiable. Please don't ask for a discount or make an offer. For sale is a collection of four (4) pipe wrenches mainly intended for use by plumbers. But these can be used for other purposes and by other types of professionals. My father purchased these wrenches at various retail stores in the late 1960s. They were only used for residential purposes for home improvement projects in his home. They were never used in commercial settings. The first adjustable pipe wrench in the collection is a Tremont brand, from their Trimo series, model number 18. This was manufactured in the USA in the 1960s. This was marketed as a heavy-duty 18" pipe wrench, because when fully extended, it's about 18" long. It has a standard ratchet wheel that opens up the wrench mouth. When fully extended, the mouth is 2.5" wide. And the mouth is 1.75" deep. There are standard upper and lower teeth in the wrench mouth, to provide a better grip for stubborn pipes. This is constructed of standard drop-forged Cr-Mo steel. This weighs about 10 pounds. Pictures 2 to 7 are of the Tremont brand 18" pipe wrench. The second adjustable pipe wrench in the collection is a Fuller brand, from their Superior Quality series, model number 18. This was manufactured in Japan in the 1960s. This was marketed as a heavy-duty 18" pipe wrench, because when fully extended, it's about 18" long. It has a standard ratchet wheel that opens up the wrench mouth. When fully extended, the mouth is 4" wide. And the mouth is 2" deep. There are standard upper and lower teeth in the wrench mouth, to provide a better grip for stubborn pipes. This is constructed of standard drop-forged Cr-Mo steel. This weighs about 10 pounds. Pictures 8 to 13 are of the Fuller brand 18" pipe wrench. The third adjustable pipe wrench in the collection is a Craftsman brand, model number 10. This was manufactured in the USA in the 1960s. This was marketed as a heavy-duty 10" pipe wrench, because when fully extended, it's about 10" long. It has a standard ratchet wheel that opens up the wrench mouth. When fully extended, the mouth is 2" wide. And the mouth is 1.5" deep. There are standard upper and lower teeth in the wrench mouth, to provide a better grip for stubborn pipes.

The fourth adjustable pipe wrench in the collection is a Fuller brand, from their Superior Quality series, model number 10. This was manufactured in Japan in the 1960s. This was marketed as a heavy-duty 10" pipe wrench, because when fully extended, it's about 10" long. It has a standard ratchet wheel that opens up the wrench mouth. When fully extended, the mouth is 2" wide. And the mouth is 1.5" deep. There are standard upper and lower teeth in the wrench mouth, to provide a better grip for stubborn pipes. This is constructed of standard drop-forged Cr-Mo steel. This weighs about 5 pounds. Pictures 20 to 24 are of the Fuller brand 10" pipe wrench. All of the pipe wrenches are in excellent structural and functional condition. The steel construction of all the tools is still robust and there is no structural damage to any tool. The throat opening dials all work smoothly with no problems. The tools are also in excellent to pretty good cosmetic condition, especially considering they are around 60 years old. Some of the tools have surface scratches, etch marks, rust stains, grease build-up, and dust accumulation. But these cosmetic issues don't harm the structural integrity of the tools. You can pick up from my house near the San Jose Airport. Or I would be happy to deliver it to you, if I happen to travel out in your direction. I prefer that you reach out via text message. Sending an initial email message is OK. But arranging pickup solely using email is not a feasible
