Wabi, what wuz yo kusin drinkin?
I did see, at a Shell production plant in the early '70's, a set of open end/box end wrenches from 1/4" to 6". The set was lined up, hanging on a wall, and that 6" wrench looked like it was 4 or 5 ft long. IIRC, they were Proto, but I'm not sure.

Not very likely, 6 feet would give one too much leverage for the jaws on a Crescent wrench. I’ve seen the handles of 4 foot Ridgid pipe wrenches with considerable ‘bends’ when the user had repeatedly slipped a length of pipe over the handle for more leverage.

I’ve seen the handles of 4 foot Ridgid pipe wrenches with considerable ‘bends’ when the user had repeatedly slipped a length of pipe over the handle for more leverage. The bend in the handle is because they didn't slip the cheeter pipe all the way up on the pipe wrench handle. I've built several high pressure manifolds and used 48" and 60" Ridgid's with up to 10' cheeter pipes on them. Never bent a handle, but I did break a jaw one time on a 48". Never broke a 60".

Where I worked, they had some 4 ft pipe wrenches. It took a BIG pipe fitter to use one of them.

It may have been a special to encourage sales.
