Title: 16" Lectrolite adjustable
Post by: Davethorik on November 29, 2020, 11:17:37 AM
I found this bad boy at an antique mall of all places, NOT in a "man" booth....but in one of the pallet wood boutique-type booths, with all sorts of "Americana" on the wall. It was hanging there with a $12 tag on it, almost ripped the hook off the wall with it...lol.

It is a black oxide model with factory polished faces. A decent amount of black oxide remains. The wrench was not used much. There is a weld booger or something down by the hang hole, but overall a nice uncommon wrench. Opens to 2-1/16"

 it rang up nine bucks and some change :a102:

Oh and a Greenfield #6 tap wrench for scale!

Thanks guys! I was stoked to add this one to the collection. I only have one other 16" adjustable, an equally scarce J.P. Danielson Bet'R Grip. Seems like 15" is more common.
