I have always called them Spud Wrenches. Use to align brackets/structural steel bolt holes.
Toe and heel bar. It has to have an open end wrench or a socket on one end to be a spud wrench. :) Used in Iron work or putting large pipe flanges together here on the Gulf coast.

I just bought one of the 179 dollar specials, a "2 ton" (yeah, right), with four wheels. In fact, I have to run to town because I don't want to settle for the supposed grade 8 used to pin the leveler or chain, to finish assembly (a Walmart special, with zero directions, zero washers).

The ram says it's good for ten tons.

The farther back I slide the horizontal part, the more weight it's indicated to hold.

The EIGHT ton ram on a two ton picker makes sense, in a overkill way.

If you need photos or anything, just yell.
Have you seen the pneumatic rams with the remote control. They seem :cool: cool to me. One person operation.

Nope... Stabby grabby bar. We've been over this. C'mon man.

Got the 3/8" impact and grinder to go with my 1/2" drive all variable speed. I like that the grinder stops within like 1/2 a second of releasing the button.

That's a nice haul! I didn't realize they had a variable speed option in that type of grinder. Mine's old enough that wasn't a thing yet. That'll be nice!
