But, this wrench is only marked on one side, with only two sizes, so I doubt that's the case here (interestingly, Klein doesn't mark the sizes at all on their lineman's wrenches; I always wonder if that's because they're saying "if you don't know the size, you shouldn't be up on the damn pole!?")<br /><br />I'm going to guess that in this case, the step is to help keep the wrench flat on the relatively thin conduit nut. <br /><br />Here's a great drawing of a worker happily using his 23WX wrench, along with an explanation of how the Kondu-Box eliminates the need for that pesky "time consuming die stock."<br /><br />https://books.google.com/books/content?id=eqTmAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA73&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U3tKTSASCCE_0kzmyUecnuc_yLZow&w=1025<br />Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-67099744223708839002023-01-30T15:20:57.754-05:002023-01-30T15:20:57.754-05:00Measure the opening. 1/2” conduit is around 7/8” O...Measure the opening. 1/2” conduit is around 7/8” OD and 3/4” is around 1-1/8” OD. That may give a clue to its use. Beazldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808229077476705399noreply@blogger.com
