New to me welding wrench

(1/1)

bonneyman:
Snagged this wrench today thinking it was an Oxwall, but upon closer inspection when I got home discovered it's an Oxweld brand. Never heard of them.
Is it a Oxwall clone, a foreign copy, or is there an actual company named Oxweld?

goodfellow:
Oxweld was a big welding equipment name back in the day (one of the best actually) and I think they were merged with Purox/Union Carbide and then eventually wound up in Linde, and finally in ESAB

jabberwoki:
Very nice wrench.

bonneyman:
Thanks!
It cleaned up well. Actually has some shine to it under all that rust. Then applied a coating of Ballistol and hung it on the pegboard. I'll get around to testing it on the Oxy-acetylene rig soon.

Lance:
Those, along with Airco's model were one of the finest devices made to wreck torches with.

Airco generously included 1 with every new torch set sold and it increased sales of replacement torch components by 50%.
