The example shown in image (4) has pipe gripping teeth on the thinner jaw of the secondary handle, instead of the curved pipe gripping face shown in the drawings. Most surviving examples are lacking the detachable secondary handle used in the tap wrench function. A straight handle adjustable wrench made by Mechanics Tool Company has the adjusting screw shown in this patent. An article in July 16, 1920 AMERICAN MACHINIST described jigs and manufacturing processes used in production of Mechanics Tool Co. tools, and shows the related range of products including this wrench.
