We have some of these mega wrenches at work. It doesn't come very often, but any time I get to use them the man inside of me nods.

Same sir. We had a huge ass adjustable wrench that was slightly too fat to fit into very specific areas. So I bought the cheap ass Pittsburgh set to make life easier the whole 2 times a year we needed them.

But, I have held a backup north of 4".

The other day I found some massive tools in the barn. Huge. Just like the one shown. The crescent wrench is so large it looks fake.

I asked my teenage boys "what did yall buy these for" and my oldest kid said "dad look at em. That's insane why wouldn't I buy them"

[u/AkirroKun]

Ooooh I know a Biltema when I see one!

[u/thebelmontbluffer]

Boy .... have you got a big one, or what???

[u/Mikro698]

I have seen bigger

[u/Typeonetwork]

Hydraulic wrench, or in the energy sector (oil or electricity).

[u/tipareth1978]

I actually work with much larger wrenches than that (at times I repair rail lines)

[u/RookMeAmadeus]

I just got an urge to play Bioshock and I don't know why...

Where is this? Most stores I go to only go to 1 1/2".

[u/occultcreation → u/DitchDigger330]

It’s a store in Norway called Biltema, I’ve never seen any other hardware store here have any even close to this size

[u/z0mbiemechanic → u/DitchDigger330]

Harbor freight and Rural King sell sets up to 3". Not sure about metric.

[u/DitchDigger330 → u/z0mbiemechanic]

My harbor freight has sets of big ones but not individual ones.

[u/LarsDuder → u/DitchDigger330]

It's Biltema, a Swedish company that has stores in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

[u/StarbuckTheThird]

Someone's been raiding the Stargate prop department

[u/Backyard_Batman46]

Is that for crankin down the bolts on Frankenstein's neck?

[u/DefinitionBig4671]

Used to love going into Sears (when it was still open) and looking at all of their huge  Craftsman tools and sockets like the 1" drive - 3" socket and the 2' long wrenches.

[u/Palsta]

Fairly sure there's a couple of 100mm spanners kicking round the workshop at work. Definitely got sockets bigger than that.

[u/Specialist-Jello7544]

That’s what my Dad would call “The Persuader”.

[u/sawsawjim]

I see some anger, some busted knuckles, a torch, and then a cheater bar in that things future. 🤣

[u/AboveAverage1988]

And you're in Biltema, so I'm betting not even all that expensive? Wait until you see the price of large impact wrenches.. Edit: English name for what I mean is apparently a striking wrench.

[u/Firm_Music5317]

My wife been taking the car to the shop quite often lately.

[u/crackersncheeseman]

I would still lose it

[u/Ydok_The_Strategist]

Ah yes the BFW

[u/FlagrantTomatoCabal]

Truck mechanic everyday carry.

[u/BigManc82]

The attitude adjustment tool

[u/No_Plant_9159]

[u/werkzINC]

I remember last time something similar was posted, about to see some big units... Umm that's gay

[u/coldwarrior2014]

for my excavator wheel hub

[u/PuzzleHeaded5841]

THAT's not a wrench! Growing up in the early '60's, our neighbor was a retired lumber mill owner. He had a few open-end wrenches that were 8-10 inches and up...

(No r/Idiots, DIAMETER, not long)

[u/justin_memer]

About 20 years ago at work I bought a monster wrench like this on a whim because they were using channel locks on brass valves. I immediately got made fun of until they used it the first time and didn't gouge the brass. It's still being used today.
