My latest King Dick Spanner
« on: May 02, 2011, 02:35:16 PM »
Here is a KD Girder Spanner, that is 7 & 1/2" in length. It has a patent number of 578649, which I assume is British, so I cannot find it. It opens to 1 & 3/4", and has a heavy feel to it. I'm wondering if this design was produced before, or after the typical KD adjustable? And, if it had a special application, such as car kit, etc.? Any Information appreciated.

Thanks,

Wayne

this style is called the double channel,,and it was claimed to be indestructable, it came in 2 other sizes ,,3 & 1/4,,  4 & 3/4 and yours,,i  believe this to be a copy of the joseph lucas design which was around before king dick, so probably earlier than the other styles..the other more typical design came in 2 shapes almost identical,,(so dont think you got a set till you got 4 standard and 2 ideal),,there may be more sizes not in my book...of course then you have the auto adjustable style,,and later the crescent style.


most of this info comes from my 1947 catalogue,,so there may be more variants to add

I'd love to hear the full story behind the wrench, and to see photos.  Any chance you might share that here?

I thought the Queen Mary was a hotel in Long Beach. Does it have a Rolls?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
