I picked this up from a friend. I know it's a wrench of some type. Anyone know what it was used for?

I don't know what that wrench is for, but someone from Vise Grip probably got their idea from those jaws!
 
Grand-dad had one like that hanging on his one-row two-horse McCormik corn cultivator in the late "60"s. his was longer and narrower then yours.

Looks like an earlier time version of a speed
wrench. I bought a couple at Sears, each one had
one size on each end but allowed you to swing the
opening around the nut or bolt head faster. Those pictured are better, will take more sizes thus, need less wrenches.
 
I have never used one, look like a good way to ruin bolts and nuts. I have always heard them called alligator wrenches.
 
Alligator wrench. I think that was one of the brand names and you can see why they'd use that name. I've had a couple, they never really worked all that great for me, but it's better than nothing.
 
agree with others "alligator" wrench.

better for nuts that aren't too tight - easy to use like a rachet - faster than getting an open end wrench back and forth at the right angle on the flats.

problem is - who here has ever seen a nut that wasn't on too tight?
 
When I was a youngster, 60 or so years ago, my dad bought me a used bike and the wrench you pictured came with the bike. It fit every nut and bolt on the bike.
