Another What's This Tool?

[JordanFX4]

I found this old Blue Point wrench at a garage sale but have no idea what its purpose was so I figured I'd bring it to the site with most knowledgeable tool folks out there

Invisible wrench?

Possibly a bleeder wrench. It looks very similar to a B-1351-A which is a bleeder wrench.

Bendix Brake Wrench? What is the number on it? Let the mob gather.

Edit, added picture

Lol, sorry forgot the pics the first time around!

It looks like the same design as a spoke wrench I have. For tightening the ******* on spoked wheels.

t4runner, thanks for the quick reply! It is a B-1351, was it designed for a specific brand, or was this some standard size for bleeder valves back in the day?

I think this is the later Snap on wrench. The blue point one posted was a more specialized tool with the 3rd cut out. See the pic I attached above.

it is a brake adj open end wrench...and there was another one on GJ in 09 with the same question. I just goolged it and found it on the old snap tool site...

Those are special purpose brake wrenches. If I recall used to adjust the excentrics on early drum brakes. Maybe the 30's into the 40's.

Don't quote me, its been a long while since I sent mine out to a collector.

Zkling, thanks for the quick response too! Very interesting, I didn't realize it was quite that old.

It looks like a long reach tappet wrench I inherited from my dad. Ken.
