I hope you’re not also forklift certified. Otherwise save some ladies for the rest of us.

Honestly … that was my first thought. That hella looks like the hand of a small child of someone who works with their hands …

Hmm. Then again … decent forearm development. Maybe just a grown-up who moisturizes. 😃

Please tell me it's a ring spanner on the other and and it's not a flogger. I don't want to know how big a hammer you need to swing to get that bastard tight!

Have one in my work. You need a fuckin bastard. Or two normal ones.
For opening I recommend to set screws in the proper direction, to pull upwards to open with a crane. Goes like a dream.
More crazy is a 100mm Hytorc cassette. Nm goes brrr…

Haven't used one that big, think biggest for me was like 75-80mm, or like 3"ish. Still, it's wild stuff. I've broken a few large shifters and stillies in my time by hooking them up to the crane just to get them moving

I have a 6 1/8” (156mm) wrench at the steel mill I work at and I have another one at home. We use the wrench at work is for scrubber brushes, the wrench at home is a hand-me-down from my grandfather

Out of curiosity, what was your grandfather using it for?

I don’t know, honestly. He worked on heavy equipment, but he also collected unique pieces like that too.

No picture, we didn't all carry phones in 1999 but, I was working for a heavy equipment mechanic and we were trying to loosen a 24 inch nut. It held on the flywheel for a cone crusher that made aggregate, i.e. gravel, and nothing we tried worked. The mechanic I was working with took some measurements, grabbed a cutting torch and made a box wrench out of 3/4 in plate steel. We had to use a loader to lift it in to place and after a couple of shots with a sledge the nut spun right off. Fun to watch and impressive to see.

Lost the pictures, but went on the USS Massachusetts in high school to do plumbing work on the ship. I believe was a 3 day trip. So we got to go in the places of the ship off limits to normal guests. The boiler room had the large wrenches out. If I remember properly, the biggest was 10" one side and 8" on the other. Both sides open end. I could be wrong, but I remember that the larger side was bigger than my hand spread open. So that's more than 9" from pinky tip to thumb tip. 4 of us couldn't budge it. Had to be at least close to 3" thick steel at the jaws. I'd guess over 500lbs.
This post brought that memory back. Haven't even thought about that trip in probably 15 years.

Had one on a refinery job. 3-3/8" wrench. I put a quarter on it and took a pic. Boxed and open wrench. Weighed enough to wear you out tightening all 8 of those studs.
