rocketraider Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I think it's called an "obstruction wrench" to get into really weird and inaccessible spots. I've seen them but never had occasion to need or use one. Maybe for suspension or some odd-ass engine/transmission combination? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in this case, since we can read "Snap On 5/8 S-8164-A" in the photo, Google tells us that it is a starter obstruction wrench made 1955-57. Of course, that assumes that everything on the interwebs is true. 😁 Edited September 2, 2023 by joe_padavano (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-mman Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 The strange thing about this obstruction wrench is that the part that grabs the hex head seems to operate in only one direction. With a box wrench you can flip it over and use it from either side. This thing only works one way. Specialized tools are great, but a one way wrench seems very limiting.
