Actually Stilson invented the floating jaw pipe wrench. The rest of the pipe wrenchs are takeoffs on the Stilson design. The patent ran out a long long time ago so anyone can make a stilson type pipe wrench.
If you use a pipe wrench on a solid bar, is it still a pipe wrench oris it now a bar wrench or are you barred from using a pipe wrench on a bar by the pipe wrench nannies? :)

There are lots and lots of reasonable counterpoints to just about everything you've ever posted. But you've made it clear time and time again that reasoning with you is a waste of effort. So you find yourself on the receiving end of the insults that you deserve. If that amuses you, prepare to be heavily amused.
