Vintage 14" Stillson Pipe Wrench

Vintage Erie Tool Works 14" Stillson pipe wrench – USA made, ready for work or display.

This is a 14 inch Stillson-pattern pipe wrench made by **The Erie Tool Works, Erie, PA, USA**. It features the classic forged steel handle with raised **“14 IN FORGED STEEL”** lettering and original green enamel, plus matching “14” markings on the head and jaw.

I lightly restored this wrench in my home shop: loose rust removed, jaws cleaned, sliding surfaces lubed, and the whole tool sealed with wax. The original paint and honest wear are still there – this isn’t a repaint or a polish job.
