Is it an aftermarket tool, or was it an OEM tool for a Chevy, Ford, Dodge.....??

 

[Red James Cash]

Most likely a OEM piece of junk lol,most were.I had the threads strip out of a oem scissors jack once while i was changing a flat.Thanks Gm for almost killing me.No idea what yours it went to.

I can see a partial number on the tapered portion of the socket, which would possibly ID the make of it.

Sorry that I didn't add that, but here it is:

7/8" A/F and the other side reads 325

I went over the lug tool with a magnifying glass, and I can't find any other markings.

I believe it is a lug wrench for a vintage Triumph TR4.

I have an identical original lug wrench for my Triumph TR6...(British)

Same wrench used for early model Triumphs up until the 1980's...

Not sure if they were also used for late model Austins and MGB's...

WOW...........

WOWSER!!!! You guys are good!!!!

You just turned a "what is it" piece of scrap metal into a cool find!!!!

The Triumph sounded right even before I followed Don's ebay link. This lug wrench was in the bottom of a tool box at an estate sale. I bought all of the tool boxes at that estate sale. In one box was a jack for a Porsche or Volkswagen. IIRC, there was also a Triumph owner's manual at the sale.

​THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
