One of my recent car boot sale finds, is this long and skinny 3/4" x 3/4" Cornwell 1452 spanner. Can anyone tell me does it have a special use ?

Scroll down to Figure 78. Looks like some version of it: a specialty wrench.

you guys are amazing ! I need to find some more difficult things !
Jaws look a little thick for a tappet wrench.
rustyric,
I agree with Bill H. above. Not a tappet wrench.. too thick.
More likely a longish angle wrench. The wrench number in the photo does not show the alpha prefix... if it is an angle wrench it should start with an "AW" followed by a number. Also, if it is an angle wrench both open ends will be the same size (which it has, i.e. 3/4" x 3/4").
Hope this helps...

One of the interesting things about online forums and the communities that build up around them is that each such forum and community winds up attracting a particular mix of folks with knowledge often related only vaguely to the official topic of the forum (wrenches and Perfect Handle items here, woodworking somewhere else). There's a lot more people with telecom experience here, for instance, than I find other places.

This is exactly why I started Tool Talk ! I am no expert on any one subject , but hoped to draw a membership that collectively could address most subjects.
In that I think I have succeeded.
My Craftsman tappet wrenches get significantly thicker as they get larger. That still doesn't address why the Cornwell is so thin, though.
