What is it?

[Jeepster425]

This was in a bunch of stuff I got from an auction. What is it? Looks like the square holes in the center were put there after it was made due to them going through the writing that was on it.

I have no idea what it is
But throwing this out there......
How big are the squares on the ends? The size a an acetylene "B" cylinder?

I agree looks like some sort of tool for opening valves on cylinders

 

[landrover bodger]

looks like a gas cylinder key

Could be, but I'm thinking along the lines of refrigeration wrench.

It's a wrench for removing square pegs from round holes.

 

[Richard Cranium]

didn't some of the old lathes use a tool like that to tighten down stuff?

Hard to say without some context. From the picture I can't tell if it's 4" or 24".

Paper weight.

Three different sized holes in center handle. I'm suggesting a tap driver.
Twarren........

How about posting what's stamped on the wrench. That'd go a long ways towards solving this mystery.

Definitely possible.

Great questions above.

There were a lot of tap drivers made like this for sure. The ends are unique though.

For valves without handles? Ball valve gate valve etc?

 

[Tim37]

A lot of refrigeration valves don't have handles because they have to be capped off after they are opened or closed.

I would guess valve wrench

I want to say a valve tool as well. Holes on the ends were probably the originals, then ones in the middle were made later to fit a couple sizes and to get shorter but quicker turns in.
