Have you ever seen a wrench/spanner this big 😂

Found this today really huge! It has some writing on but too rusty to make out what it says, not sure on what era this could be either but pretty cool find

Kieran, in Tennessee we call that a B.A.R. Nice find.

Oh yeah. My first full-time job was in a foundry that made valves for the US Navy and other large applications. They had some wrenches with four-foot long handles and 12" jaws for the iron furnaces.

Yes. B.A.R. A BIG ARS RENCH. We hillbillies don't waste time on the W since you are not pronouncing it.
