I was thinking the same thing when I saw these wrenches.

Saw this today on eBay. $1299 US.
I own some Armstrong tools but I think this should be named Backstrong.

I checked a 1937 Strelinger Cat, and Williams were making up to 7-5/8" wrenches for 5" bolts! 52" - long

$204 then!

A 4-1/4" was a mere $42, by comparison.
