Information about Trimo Pipe Wrench

The Strelinger catalogue (1895), p. 182, says of the Trimo Pipe Wrench that it "was first placed on the market two or three years ago in the form shown...but afterwards changed as in cut shown here (image missing at moment). It is a handsome, well-made tool, drop-forged from bar steel, all parts interchangeable, and inserted jaw is placed in handle side of wrench, which can be renewed at slight expense when dull or worn. A good many prefer it on account of the fact that it has no wooden handle. The sizes and prices on Trimo Wrenches are the same as on Stillson Wrenches." That is, the 18", which accepts 2" pipe, cost $2.65, or $1.00 for the jaws, $.45 for the frames, and $.35 for the nuts.
