I got this sweet new Trimo 21" wrench in the mail today. I have wanted one of these for a long time. Got this from the ebay for 50$ including shipping. I bought one of these 6 months ago and it got stolen in the mail, I got a refund at least.


This thing is just about as big as a 24" pipe wrench and heavier.

A fellow coworker goes everywhere with his trimo. Never had one though.

What amazes me is you took the picture on your glass stove in the kitchen...

I fell in love with it the moment I opened it. I oiled it and then punched my name on it with a very nice set made in fall river mass and of a similar vintage as the wrench.

SSHHHH...... Don't tell my wife! I wanted the stove top to act as a good size reference. The lighting was good too. :biggrin:

That's hilaious. Googly eyes do make most things better. I would like the smaller sizes but don't really need them. I have up to a 15" crescent wrench. The upper jaw on this new wrench is almost as big as my hammer and even heavier. I actually used it to punch the letters onto the body!

Awesome I've been wanting smooth jaw wrench like that forever...

I love pulling out the vintage tools... co-workers love them too..

Your nail polish matches it too.

Chrome tail pieces, commercial toilet with chrome flush valves, or free standing tubs...

Well, I use my 15" crescent for holding prv's/regulators and it isn't always quite big enough. Sometimes hex unions too.



Are you implying I need a reason to buy nice tools? This thing is mint. Even still has the facing marks on the jaws. Doesn't even appear to have been used as a hammer more than once.


If you think buying nice tools I won't use is wrong, than you agree with my wife, shh don't tell her.

It's really too big for any of those. It's basically equivalent to a 24" pipe wrench.

It didn't seem that big in the picture, so it's only good for 2" black pipe unions???

Im a tool hound and have a ton of tools....buy anything your heart desires ...if you got the dough then dont let it go....


im just asking myself when would I use that tool....I havent had the need for it yet, so I figured you do some specialized something that you would get use from it...

No, I'd grab it for 1-1/4" too. Ball valves have flats too ya know ;0

the standard wrench with teeth has a much wider range of use, so to take up room on the truck with something you may use once in a while...eh, I say no...but to buy and have it because you want it and may use it around the house..sure why not...
