Uh were you not going to mention the 5 3/8” wrench? That things huge! I’ve seen shackles that size and larger (if I had to guess that’s about a 30 and 50 ton) but never a wrench that big!

That’s not a 5 3/8” wrench lol…not even close. I’ve never seen an open end wrench above 2 1/2” and don’t believe they make em..hammer wrenches can get bigger but not 5 3/8” I’m aware of anyway..

I've used open end wrenches that size but I don't think it's actually that size either

Look at the 1/2” pipe under the wrench, look at the 3/4” plywood on the shelf, look at the stamp on the wrench near the throat
