How would you like to carry this baby in your tool pouch. It is 15 inches long and ways 5&1/2 LBS. It was made by B&C in Springfield. I can't read the state. It is strong enough to tighten any nut or loosen it. I would also make a very good weapon.

Dad hit me it the head with one of these many years ago, then it was called a monkey rench.
That would be Springfield, Mass, most likely.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
We always called it a monkey wrench. Still have the small one around here somewhere. Big one was used with a 4 foot pipe to tighten the square nuts on the axle on the 22' tillage disk. 36" pipe wrench with a 36" pipe slid over the handle on the other end. Let that rotate down to the ground and tighten the nut with the monkey wrench and pipe.
They actually worked quite well with the square nuts. Better than adjustable open end wrenches, AKA Crescent wrenches. And my 16" crescent wouldn't open enough for the disk nut.
Glad other people are doing those kinds of things now.
I can sit and watch other people work like that ALL day.
Probably came out of Springfield Massachusetts. Back in the day there used to be massive amount of manufacturing in Springfield. Think Springfield armory, pretty sure Indian motorcycles came from there. Just those two factories would support a whole bunch of supplier companies.
And it's worth an hour or two to tour what's left of the armory.
Mine is made for underwater use.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
I have a couple of them.
I recall them being called a “Ford” wrench!
Yep. A real 'monkey wrench'
W&B in Canada made a bunch of them like that too.

They make great twisting wrenches for ornamental ironwork. Weld a short handle on the head to help centralize the torque.
