Wrenches
The first nut wrenches date from very early times. The first American patents were given for commercially manufactured wrenches in the 1830's. Names like King, and Merrick & Coes head the top of the list for these early efforts. After that hundreds if not thousands of different designs were developed, and are still being put forth today---just look at the strange contraptions at the front of the aisle in Home Depot, or the local Auto Parts store. Or look at what Bob Villa is peddling for Sears this month. Unusual wrenches make for a great collectible, and you will always be able to find a new one! Good Luck!.

JF-AW-1
Stanley
#1 Wagon Wheel Wrench
This unusual design wrench / brace was
designed with one purpose in mind. To affix the outer metal ring to wagon
wheels. This would fit over the rim and get the rivet or bolt from the top
and hold the bottom or nut as you turned the crank to tighten. Two or more
tools in one. It was probably the introduction of rubber tires that made this
a Stanley rarity shortly after they bought original maker out. These are usually
found unmarked, but this one is a marked Stanley. It is a rare tool.
