Upthread, I posted that I found out that Merit used to make tools for Craftsman & Sears & Roebuck. You would think that would make them worth a little more, but I guess not. The Diamond Tool and Horseshoe Co. 10.5" wrench that I have was selling for around $25!

What surprised me was, after my 2nd neck surgery & being told I couldn't ever work again, I was looking up Spud Wrenches on Ebay, and sold a couple of mine for $65 each... I picked them up at a garage sale for $5 each! I had all kinds of Ironworking tools.

I had some of my grandfather's old pipefitting tools, but lost them to Hurricane Andrew. I would cherish those if I still had them, especially since I never met him, he died when my dad was 16.

Peace,

Ghost

Has anyone ever seen an old pipe wrench like this before? [View all] Ghost in the Machine Jul 2015 OP

Yes I have one similar (different markings of course). As you point out it's a "Stillson wrench". PoliticAverse Jul 2015 #1

Thanks... the Idea just struck me to look for MERIT tools, and I found that they were made by Ghost in the Machine Jul 2015 #2

I have one very similar - handed down from my granddad. I'll have to check the markings tho.. nt jonno99 Jul 2015 #3
