The Matthews "Never Stall" Monkey Wrench Combination Tool was made and marketed by The Thomas Mfg. Co. of Dayton, Ohio. The Patent No. was 933, 860 with a Patent date of Sept. 14, 1909. It was known as the Windmill Tool. This tool was supposed to be all you ever needed when you climbed up a windmill tower. Their ads pointed out that the Windmill Tool did the work of f...ifteen different tools. Make that sixteen counting bodily injury.
Later variations had a tapped hole in one jaw that a thumb screw or bolt could be put in to allow it to be clamped to something so the adjustable jaw could be used as a vice.
