This would have to be my favourite tool. I have used and abused it for years. More than an adjustable Spanner it is almost a little portable vice, even a small hammer  I have used it not only in the obvious way but also with the tip of the jaws into a restricted space, even the back part of the jaws can be used if required. It is 6 inches long and has a maximum opening of about 1 1/2 inches though the maximum practical opening is probably about 1 inch. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/12/22/20191222_105936.jpg) Proudly stamped (BRITISH MADE), why enclosed in brackets I can not imagine. Other than various numbers, probably relating to identification, part numbers or somesuch, it has no maker's brand on it. I suspect it may have originally been part of a car tool kit but it may also have been for military use.

We all made one at school in 1965 Metalwork class at my school, it was more useful than the poker we made before that.

That sounds very useful, we had to make a beaten copper pin tray which my stepmother still has, not very useful but she likes it...
