I'm starting a new thread instead of hijacking Wrenchmensh's similar one (http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=2754.0).
At first glance this is a simple double open-ended wrench. There is, however, what appears to be a short, wide, <<thick>> screwdriver blade shaped tip at 90 degrees to the handle.
Overall length is 6 1/2", with a 1/2 inch and 7/8 inch end, with the protrusion in question on the side of the grip on the 7/8 inch end.
The only marking is K99.
It's been suggested that the tip could be a shackle spreader, but it would have to be a very small shackle and the short length of the wrench wouldn't provide much leverage.
Ideas as to purpose of 'blade' and, of, any other info, anyone?
Probably used to spread the end of a pitman arm, similar to this http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=2787.msg16808#msg16808
That's exactly the way it seems to work - like a pry bar. Who'd a thunk it! I vaguely remember learning NOT to use wrenches like that.
That's a great link you sent.
The tip appears smaller than the one in the link, but for exactly the same purpose.
Thanks.
Other comments still welcome.
