Good morning, Fellas! I need some help ID’ing this deep-well, double box-end wrench.
I got it in a 4-piece wrench lot on FB marketplace for $20. It’s an 11/16” x 3/4”. No brand name, no forge mark. Just “57253-B” stamped into it. When quoting the model # into Google with the word wrench, I see there is an old eBay seller review where it says the buyer purchased 2x PROTO "alignment obstruction wrenches”, and the listing title appears to have included “57253-B”. But eBay will not let me view the corresponding listing pictures from review. This threw me off a little because DBE wrenches aren’t considered to be obstruction or alignment wrenches. I would normally guess this is a military issue, due to having no brand name, but it’s chromed. That being said, the chrome does kinda PROTO-esque. Anyone seen one like this?
