I've got an oddball, very thin 7/8" + 13/16" wrench that I've been trying to identify for years. Here's a composite image of both sides (click image for high resolution version). " There's absolutely nothing on it to identify the maker. Just "Forged in U.S.A." in text under the 7/8"...

Here's my dilemma. I have a 2003 Land Rover Discovery, and Land Rovers with alloy wheels are notorious for the wheels growing onto the centre locating boss on the hubs. Even after treating the hubs with an anti sieze compound, I've been known to spend an inordinate amount of time with a club...
