That looks too rusty! Is there any chance that it will get broken in half while working ?

It's mostly surface rust and could be used just fine.

The monkey wrenches also came in larger sizes.

The big wrenches were for the really big jobs.

I think the term "hand tools" no longer apply :D

BTW this was just one of 16 bolts and nuts used to join a generator shaft at the grand Coulee dam in 1942. The bolt and nut weighed 190 lbs.

I'm sure it's an optical illusion, but the threads look ultra fine and the nut looks as if it's not running straight (if it's on the right side looking at the picture):) just glad that I'm not the guy in the picture :D Where's OSHA

Here is a better picture I can't even see any threads on the bolt. They must just run only the width of the nut.
