Does yours curve??

Hey I picked up this 24" Stillson pipe wrench for less than the price hot dog and a soda at the big flea mkt where I spend all my weekend time selling for the business I work at. Most folks never look twice at it and pass on by but since my buddy had snapped the handle of my cheap 14" Harbor Frieght pipe wrench using a cheater bar trying to do trailer ball I figured hey best to have something around the garage.

Anyhow the big question is... is the curve in THAT long handle natural or has it been bent some? Seems like the first photo that my search looks questionably similar ???

Look like the handle has been "improved" to me. They made it more ergonomic!

Yep, "improved" with a 5' cheater pipe! :laughing:

Some one put a cheater on that for sure(it's an old timer) doesn't hurt the functionality at all.The new ones are cast and would have snapped.I have one just like that kicking around somewhere!

The one that is mine is the first photo on the pine board...the other photo came off of Ebay. Beside Stillson its also stamped WALWORTH MFG. CO. BOSTON U.S.A. Ya its been around a while
