A superb and quite rare Evans Wrench Company quick‑adjust nut wrench, made in Fall River, Massachusetts, and one of the most interesting slide‑adjust designs of the early 20th century. This example is exceptionally clean, with the distinctive brass driver threaded to engage the central screw—an elegant mechanical solution that sets the Evans pattern apart from other quick‑adjust wrenches of the era.

The design was patented July 22, 1927 by Edwin J. Evans of Venice, California, and production by the Evans Wrench Company gives it that appealing Massachusetts connection. This uncommon wrench is illustrated in Schulz’s Antique & Unusual Wrenches as No. 537, a listing that underscores its scarcity and collector interest.

A crisp, mechanically clever, and genuinely hard‑to‑find patented wrench—one of the best Evans examples to surface.
