Did I read that right? a wrench that's only 6" long but weighs 68lbs???

Or is it a wrench that fits a 6" nut.? Then I could understand the 68lbs.

ok, maybe i have too much time on my hands...but I came across this on
Amazon (if link doesn't work, go to amazon, tools and hardware dept.,
search for "pliers" and then sort by "price, highest to lowest"....
who uses these, anyway?

Well, they might use it at the same place you would use a 68lb, $3,564.76
wrench.

However, I decided against because Gift-wrapping was not available...

I think it fits a 6" nut. The kind used to attach the well head to the
well pipe in a gas or oil well. You definitely want something that
won't make sparks in that environment. Ever seen the John Wayne move
"Hellfighters?"
