Williams Adjustable hook spanner

Just the tool for adjusting lock rings, collars and the like. 
A couple of weeks ago I saw (but did not purchase) this somewhat abused but fully serviceable tool at a local swapmeet. Today I find myself adjusting steering head bearings with a hammer and screwdriver. Oh well.

  2. It's a job that I do rarely. Between slipjoint pliers and the caveman tools, I get it done and ya can't buy every tool ya see!

  3. I've used these wrenches to remove chucks from older engine lathes. The chucks are held on a tapered and keyed spindle with a threaded collar.
