Title: crane wrench
Post by: Edkat3 on September 25, 2013, 04:59:19 PM

Anyone have any information on this wrench? 5/8 box marked crane on one side and 28827 on the other. Thanks.

Crane made faucets and valves, so I would lean more toward valve handle then wrench as such....

Is the opening a nice even size ? like 3/4 ?

I would agree on it being a valve handle to a Crane valve.  Interesting note:  Before Nazi Germany came about - Crane, in the 1920s and before, had the swastika as their logo.  I have both Crane valves and valve handles in the shop.
