I go tired of busting my knuckles using 3 screwdrivers to get these spanner nut style fasteners loose. I was going to make on for my wheel tonight but noticed I needed two different sizes.My solution:weld two nubs to an adjustable wrench. Now just adjust it to whatever size you need at that time.

You could have used the wrench from your 4 inch grinder.
Mine is from a Dewalt brand.
Your idea is very good also.

HA! NO kidding.I was hoping they would go unnoticed. Yeah,definitely not pretty welds.It took a lot of heat to penetrate that wrench. Hey man,its hard to weld in a 3/16'' dia circle when the wrench wont flow and your stubs are rapidly disappearing!...plus I was in a hurry.Imagine that...

Lucky,pretty neat that your grinder wrench fit! I still needed two different sizes,though.

How I would have built that Cresent wrench /spanner is I would have drilled a hole all the way through and then insert the post and then just put a small tack weld on the back side.
I would use the smooth part from cut off drill bit for the post.

Still a great idea!

I tried to drill it initially,but since it is a wrench,well...you know. Didn't happen.Apparently this cheap wrench is not as cheap as I thought.

  Paul does the same as you Chrome Ribs,
I ask for A specail tool he says no I try any-/-most any-thing
Then He walks over with something he just welded up or grinded from another tool.
