I found this wrench in my Shopsmith cabinet but I have no idea what it is for. Any ideas?????
[ATTACH]1495[/ATTACH]
The closed end portion is bent up at a 45 degree angle. The closed end is for 1/2 inch nut and open end is 9/16 the whole tool is 5 inches long and about 3/4 wide
I think it is used some where on the Shopsmith but it could have been with my Makita cordless kit but I don't think so.
Any ideas??????

Ed,
You have a genuine speciality tool. I have a tool box full of them. When you have that special need they really work great. I don't think they even have names anymore, just special need tools. I tried naming mine, but by the end of the week I had forgotten all of the names and went back to just calling them speciality tools. Hope you find the name for it as I have one just like it.

Well Ed, it's a wrench, yep, that's what it is.
It does not look SS to me; but I do not have "everything that is SS", so who knows? To me, it looks like some kind of arbor wrench. Could fit just about anything, American that is. My wormdrive Skillsaw came with a similar wrench, and that "bent" end is common for their arbors.

It's definitely a 'thing a ma jig' used mostly for adjusting a 'whatcha ma callit.'
Hope that helps
