Title: Alligator wrench with a built in bottle opener
Post by: moparthug on August 26, 2019, 06:44:59 PM

I picked up these 4 wrenches over the weekend, all wild caught just digging through random yard sale tool piles. I already have one of the big beasties on top, the second one down is common, and the bottom Planet Jr cutout is my first. Those are easy, it's the third one down, the gator wrench with the bottle opener... any ideas on that one?

I knew it looked familiar.  Maybe it was used to repair one of their lighters    ;-)

Yup, that's it only a bit smaller, this gives me a direction to search, thanks!

I have a set of the Ronson wrenches. I will clean them up and post pictures tomorrow. The one like the one Moparthug has  is 6" long.

1910. There are several to be found by Google.
The patent also shows an additional "sleeve" as part of the set, but I have never seen one.
