Is ths a wrench?

[rolfecat]

Hi Friends,

I found this in a yard. It's not a bottle opener (I tried, it doesn't fit).

Could it be an adjustment wrench for a yard working tool, or maybe for a toy, or a skates?

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks!

Looks like the wrench to tighten a drill chuck or some such tool,
sometimes called a collet wrench.

it is called a spanner wrench used to tighten hose connections. fire departments use this type in i-1/2" on up . i had several on my tug used for tightning fire hoses to the manifold and to couple two or more together.

Yup... spanner wrench, used for a million things, to INCLUDE saw blades... ALSO called a Hook Collet wrench!

Everyone is correct!!

It looks like the wrench used to remove the glow plug from on old Cox, string controlled model airplane.

Also used to adjust spring tension on motorcycle shock absorbers. Most common use. Any dirt bikers near by?

Brings back memories when I used a spanner wrench on a metal lathe in high school close to 40 years ago. Great find.

Yep, you got it. They also use spanner wenches to tighten and loosen commercial lock sets, ie door knobs.

Back in the early 60s Sears sold a 410 bolt action shot gun with screw on chokes, it had a small wrench, it looks about the right size for that. I still have mine, my first gun..Loco

It is a spanner wrench used to tighten the tap head to the shank on a beer draught system.
