Adjustable "S" Wrenches
In later years B&C became especially well known for their "S"-shaped adjustable wrenches. The sliding jaw design was very similar to the 1857 E.J. Worcester patent 17,351 with a slotted jaw running in a rectangular keyed passageway. The line of adjustable "S" wrenches was introduced in 1894 and proved to be very popular.
