This was another space-saving tool we used at the bicycle shop - it eliminated ALL open and box ends of any sizing, again freeing valuable pegboard space.
The only problem was that the Stanley tool truck came around only once a year at the beginning of the Spring work season, on the First of April.

I saw this tool in a catalogue at work and instantly tought about this thread. apparently they are called plier wrench, and made by a company named Knipex in Germany.

I Own one of those Knipex style ones and the stanley style one as well. The stanley ones work well for anything a little tighter then you can get with your hand. (would be perfect for a bicycle) The knipex on the other hand are one of the most versatile tools I have. Very high quality, and little effort to retain clamping power. They both have there place but Ratchet wrenches are my favorite for any job and you really only need five of them any way for our cars.

OMG ! ! ! That Stanley tool actually exists !
I pulled this from a bike site that has joke tools, which is why I mentioned that the "Stanley truck" only made its annual visits on April First...
I read your post and thought "Come on, fella.." Glad I looked at the Stanley home site before ragging on you!
