Help me ID this mystery nut tool
|
My physical therapist had this for tightening bolts on wheelchairs. I traded him for a wrench. Who made it? |
|
its not.......its a old ass spanner wrench from a company that makes door closers......the spanner end is most likely to screw on/tighten the ring on commercial door knobs. obviously, itll work as a nut tool and you can tighten loose nuts on bolts with it. |

A PRICELESS VINTAGE NUT TOOL, YOU SAY? |
|
These often don't work for tightening loose nuts on bolts with hangers, unless the socket on the end fits the nut - |
|
Used to use my bicycle spanner as nut tool. Thing was pretty dang heavy though. |
|
Anyone know of a probably vintage nut tool with a very small hammerhead on the hook end? Sure would like one of those. A friend had one she used regularly since her husband liked to secretly hang on the nuts he placed when leading. |

Forrest Bam Nut Tool? |

I think a slide hammer design would be a better use for an extra ounce or two. |

It looks like a tap wrench for a kegerator to me. |

^^^...Whoa...how cool is that?! |

Gratuitous post: I make a nut tool that works nice. Similar in concept to the wrench you got from your PT. www.neilico.com |
