  • What is that tool called?
  • Cleaning up my little Atlas 618 lathe and ran into this nut that I can not get loose. Can someone tell me what they call the wrench used to remove this type of nut?

    It holds the chrome handle onto a threaded rod.

  • Collett?

    Make one from fflat steel that thickness & drill on drill press to get the space between the tabs. Turn flat steel with ad wrench.

  • Turns out it is a #14 Spanner bit. I made one out of an old screw driver.

  • I had a problem like that once, similar situation. I found an old nut driver that would fit over the thread and I ground the end of it down until only two prongs were left. A socket would work also.

  • Way back when I had a tool like that, bought it off the Snap-on/ Mac tool truck, It was used to remove that style nut from some Ford (and others)headlight switch's The tool was like a nut driver.
