WEST HAVEN (45spaces)
Description:
The adjusting screw serves as a motion limit for opening the jaws, or when screwed down completely makes the pliers a hand vise. It was put on the market in 1910. An April 1913 HARDWARE REPORTER writeup lists Peck as manufacturer. Another early 1913 write-up notes two sizes made by West Haven Mfg. Co. It appears in some 1920s hardware listings as "Peck's Plier Wrench." (March 2026: 45spaces entries show two variants.)
