WOW...that is a great tool.  It is on my list, I must call Walcks, I have never seen one before.  Beats the heck out of an adjustable.

Is that one of the unobtainium tools listed in the Willys service manual special tools list?

Unobtainium...Great word.  That wrench, along with a modified 3/4" box wrench have made adjusting my brakes a freakin' joy.  I almost can't wait till the next adjustment is due.

JB,
These wrenches pop up on Ebay and others sites on occasion.  I believe Cornwell, Snap On and one other manufacturer were the primary suppliers.  

I got lucky.  I showed a picture of this wrench to a guy at work.  He is kind of a tool nut.  He proclaimed that he had one.  I didn't believe him.  He brought it in the next day.  I bought it withing 20 seconds of seeing it.

It is a great tool, but after seeing it, with some average metal working skills, a similar and effective tool could be made dirt cheap.

Sounds right...everything's on eBay!

The wife and I frequent antique shows/fairs...there's usually someone with a booth full of tools, will keep an eye open there too. Chances are I've seen 2 or 3 and passed them by not knowing that I needed one. �:(

That won't happen again! �

Thanks,

Anybody flea marketing for one should make a note of the sizes because that wrench comes in two different size combinations. I'd hate to see someone get all excited and buy one only to find it didn't fit. �:-?
