Northwoods

Came home yesterday with The Copperhead, a four-headed tire rim bolt wrench.
It is similar to the Blackhawk, but more similar to the Bog pictured in AA.
Found the patent info.

I saw a similar one a couple of years ago but passed on it because it had a broken socket.
I see that a member posted pictures of his--wildly restored--three years ago.

The ORIGINAL Northwoods.

Interesting speed wrench.  Have one in my todo iron pile.   Was a gas station tool mostly, for removing the bolts on demountable rims, on wood spoke wheels.  That is why it doesn't have the beef for breaking loose modern lug nuts.
