What is this wrenches job?

[coolford]

It is a Wright #812750 (also marked Armstrong) and yes, I know what it is for and it is not bent.  Its form is for a specific job.

I would think it is one of many distributor wrenchs.

[coolford]

Sorry, doesn't have any relationship to distributors.

It's a tool to drive us all crazy on a Sunday morning!!

[coolford]

Don't want to drive you all crazy, it is aviation related.  It is a jug/cylinder wrench for a C-47, made to reach around the jug for the bolts at the bottom.  It is 1/2" drive and given to me recently by a WW-2 pilot.

Thanks for sharing, that is a great wrench, and a great piece of history!!

These wrenches are used by workers to repair, adjust, rebuild, and install different mechanical and electrical devices. For instance, a plumber can use this tool to install a bathtub. For these types of professionals, a wrench is a very important tool that they use daily. I know that because thanks to https://www.howtobecomeaplumber.org/license/, I have recently got my plumbing license. And since I've started to work in this industry, I have also needed to work with this tool pretty often. Hope I've answered your question.
