I found this wrench a few years ago. I was coming home from buying groceries and it was snowing. So I had a little Toyota car that doesn't fit in deep snow ruts left by trucks, so of course I got high centered. After awhile a lady came along in a big4 wheel drive SUV. She pulled me out! When I was rolling up my tow rope, there laying in the snow was this wrench, pretty as you please. I never knew what I had till today when I opened it up to fit a big nut. That was the first time that I noticed how big the jaws opened up to. I always thought it was just a common 10 inch wrench!

Sorry, my phone doesn't take very good pictures. It says Fat Max on the handle. I'm going use it to replace the 12 inch wrench in the tool box that I haul around in my pickup. Opens wider and less weight to haul around.
 


That had to be very fast falling heavy snow. I used to drive a roadster with five inches clearance in deep northern snow.
 
Stanley tools had a Fat Max brand. I have a 25 foot FatMax tape measure that I can span out over a area greater than 13 feet.
 
Someone might of ground another groove in the movable jaw, I have seen people do that. Guys would modify smaller wrenches to fit larger sizes, so they could carry a wrench in their pocket that would open up to 1 1/8! Don't pull on it very hard when it's opened up that much!
 
It's not modified, it seems to be better machined than my other12 inch wrenches. It works much easier.
 
It can snow hard sometimes here in
Colorado, but what really closes the roads
fast, is the wind. For the last few years
I've had a four wheel drive pickup, but
haven't needed to put in four wheel drive
in all that time. I'm thinking of selling
it and getting a 2 wheel drive, because of
the gas mileage.
