I got this in a toolbox lot auction. Several Bonney and JH Williams sockets/ ratchets, great deal.

Then there was this...and I'm not sure what this is.

Shaped similar to a firefighter spanner wrench but a lot different. Google Lens yielded nothing.

Has H-3876-D1 stamped on the handle so perhaps a Duro made tool?

It looks a bit like some kind of clutch release lever to me. But it doesn't have a fork for the thrust bearing. Just a guess.

Some sources refer to it as a "gas wrench".

But there's so much going on with this tool to just be a simple gas wrench...I mean it could be but gotta know for sure and then what type of gas device this would work on

Old bottles had a square stem to open the valve, but that looks a bit large to me.
