Machinist School - Arkansas Alligator

Are there alligators at the Machinist School in Arkansas? What you see here is an "alligator wrench" .... named for its jaws. This is a on-size-fits-all kind of tool with built-in dies to repair damaged threads. Wrenches of this type were used on farms for quick repairs on tractors, combines, bailers, plows, pumps, windmills, mowers, tillers, carriages & wagons, trucks, cars, and other things that were put together using nuts and bolts.

Great play on words, hehe. As a Machinist myself I always love coming to this website and finding the humor these guys take when writing.
