I purchased this wrench with a box of other tools.  I have not see it before.  I looks like it is some type of specialized wrench for maybe a machine.  Just a guess. Any ideas?  Thanks,

Any markings?  Some of the adjustable door closer devices have odd shaped wrenches.

There are no markings on the wrench, either side.

Definitely a wrench issued to fit all the fasteners you would find on something.  Tracking down which something could get challenging.

I agree on the tough identification.  I am usually reasonably good on identification of tools, but this one has me stumped. 

Thanks for everyone that is looking and trying to figure this one out.

Very possible it's a multi tool for a weapon like a machine gun.

That was my first thought as well, but the military ones are usually well marked with an umpteen digit number.

i get the warning too; i think because of all the other links on that page.   It's a picture of the Magpul armorer's wrench on Midway's site.

Yabbut, the wrench that was once the standard toolkit wrench for British three-speed bicycles looked vaguely like this, as well.  Could be a machine gun.  Could (though probably not) be a bicycle wrench.  Only the Shadow knows, and she ain't tellin'.

Thanks for your reply.  I will see if I can figure out how it is used on a bike.

You want to find a classic English three-speed (Raleigh, for instance), almost all of which, in my experience, used the same size/design of major nuts and bolts.  You'll just get confused on a Schwinn or a modern bike.
