FOLLOWUP -- Cracked pipe wrench

Steve, the bad one, I also bought at a garage sale.

Doubtfully that was the case... It is an old one, and a name I never heard about...

Did you take it to a store and see if they would replace it?

Steve

I know, but some brands have a replacement policy, and a store may replace it. Not sure about your particular item, but some do.

Just a thought.

Steve

Now, you need a Rigid calender, just to match your pipe wrench.

Karl

The jaws are replaceable. You may have to pony up the bucks though.

Several years back I paid $2.00 for an Estwing 20 oz. framing hammer with an abused leather disk handle. Next time I was in Home Despot, I asked customer service if they knew whether the lifetime waranty covered the handle, their response was "bring it and your purchase receipt in and we will look into it." Couple days latter I was in the local, small chain outlet (Home Hardware, St. Jacobs Ontario) and asked (it turned out) the store manager the same question, he invited me into his office while he made two phone calls to get me the number for the Canadian representative in Toronto, and had it not been a Saturday, he would have made the call for me. As it turned out, the handle was not covered, so I took it apart and put in a couple of Aluminium spacers to make up for the lost sections. When Junior bought his first house last year, he hinted broadly that he needed a good hammer so it now resides at his house. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

When I first saw the header I thought it said " Crack pipe wrench" and thought we were going to have to co an intervention.

I thought the same, but realizing that crack pipes don't require wrenches, I reread the subject line...

Not wrenches * wenches* as seen on a Cops rerun.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh! I thought it said "crack pipe wench."

Estwing's are a great hammer. I bought my nephew a Estwing hatchet for Christmas. He is in second grade. I figure the rifle is going to be ez to get past mom based on this. :)

I have a 16, 20 and a waffle head not to mention a hammer for whacking rocks to see inside. Good tools. The nylon grips hold up but leather is way cooler :)

Looks real nice with a coupla sections of 1/2" aluminium at the ends! Gerry :-)} London, Canada
