Flea Market Wrench

Hello, I found this wrench today. Any ideas? The one end is 1/4" square, and the other is a 1/2" Six Point. I liked the look of it, never seen one before. Thanks, Lou

My guesses would be a bed wrench or a tool post wrench.

Hello, Both are good guesses,, and I looked at a lot of bed , and, tool post wrenches after reading your post. I could not find a match, and most have only square ends. My guesses were welding tank wrenches, or refrigeration?? I haven't had any luck with those, either.  Bicycle?? Skate key?? Regards, Lou

I like the skate key idea.  If you google that, most of the pressed steel kind have a hex end and a square end.  Do you have any of those where you can measure the size of the openings?

If it was a skate key it would have to be for professional style skates because that wrench would probably cost as much or more that a kids skate.  I was thinking it might be for an oxygen tank and regulator,  maybe for use in a hospital or doctor office setting.  It is cool looking.

I kinda get a "plumbing" feel from this but I have no solid info to help.

I think Skipskip is on the right track. I was thinking it was maybe for a hose bib valve one side for the wheel nut and the other for the valve if no wheel is attached.

Maybe a radiator wrench?

Facility maintenance guys on commercial buildings use this tyoe of wrench.

No handles on the valve so the water can't be stole.

Similar wrench in a junk drawer lot on ebay.

Hmmm! Do you think the seller will get almost $50 for that ?

[amecks]

Yeah.  I'm scanning some of these "lots" and the prices are stupid.  Then you'll see a reasonable price lot but the shipping kills it.

Lou,  what about "refrigeration wrenches"?  They usually have a standard wrench shape but don't they have a square on one end and a hex on the other?

Hello, Al. I think we are all on the right track, plumbing/boiler/gas valve/refrigeration. I will keep looking. Regards, Lou
