I recently came to own this large wrench and while far from the
worlds largest it spiked my curiosity about just how large the largest
wrench ever made may have been? (working wrench - not trade stimulator
or advertising piece).
A quick Google search did not come up with much. I see that
Joe mentions nuts measuring 12 inches ‘across the flats’ in another
thread. So what is the largest nut and or wrench which our members
have encountered either in the real world or historic photographs?
Here is a related discussion at Smokstak

The photographed wrench measures 59 inches high and accommodates
a 6 ½ inch nut. It has a galvanized finish.
