I think that is a open end/box end wrench.

 

[Dipstick]

Always called that an "ignition wrench".

Looks that way.. Got my set from a billion years ago.

Oxmall (?) don't know that brand, looks like a wrench
to work on the coil connection/wires 9/32" or a 1/4"
(or was it 11/32" ? for the coil connections I can't remember)
only time I've ever used that size box/open end wrench,
it was on older 60's cars

maybe something under the dash or on the gauge cluster or something ?

But is it a Lefty-loosey .....or a Righty-tighty?

Think you have it backwards, it is a box end/open end…lol

It's a mechanically operated hexagonal torque application instrument in 7.1438mm and 6.35mm.
Jeez

Somewhere here is a joke about the picture being upside down(sort of) and where OP is from.


It is an OxWall. From New Jersey. I had to look them up during flea market season because I had never heard of them.
Budget stamped tools mostly. But, like most things, they were budget stamped in the USA tools, so probably still better than a lot of box store BS from now as far as steel quality.

I would keep it, that is the type of thing you use when you want to make a "custom" wrench by grinding things shorter or something. I have a small collection of stuff like that I have made thinner, or cut in half to make it fit in a spot, that sort of thing all made out of stuff from places that went bankrupt 40 years ago or more.

I haven't had a ride in it yet, but apparently it's as tight as a tight thing......hard to push around the shop.

A few options:
(1) use it as as a bus bar on one of your electrical jobs.
(2) use it as a fishing weight. Should be able to cast it a long ways.
(3) hang it on the wall as a decoration.

I'll take (1) for $100 please Alex.
