 Bought this Overland wrench ;one listed on e-bay as water pump wrench ? Can anyone confirm proper usage.
Marquette wrenchs and S wrench came along with it. Marquette wrenchs seem to be valve stem wrenchs;since one is so marked.
The S wrench is quite thick 3/8 on ends and 1/4 in middle. I,ve seen this wrench somewhere but memory has a divot there.

I have no info on the Overland wrench, but here is my grandfather, Clyde Madara at work in the Overland repair facility in Houston, Texas in 1916.

I posted a pic of my Overland wrench here a few months back.  Am guessing it came in the tool kit, and from the shape of that odd end, my bet it was for tightening the water pump packing.
