    This 8 7/8" long wrench caught my eye as it was made for both hexagonal bolt heads (6 point) and square head (8 point) bolts of varying sizes. One end is 1 3/16" and 1" while the other end is 15/16" and 3/4". The 8 point are 3/4", 3/8", and 1/2". The only marks on the wrench are, what appears to be a cast HE and a stamped 163 (not too sure of the 6). Any information such as maker, age, unique use, etc. would be most appreciated. Thanks.

      Ford Model T oil drain plug, and multitool wrench. I know of at least 2 companies that made these, ie. Herbrand, and Ken Tools, but don't know what Company your mark is from.

      Thanks Lzenglish, I had searched several Internet wrench web sites and auction catalogs without finding a match. I am still a little bit unsure as the stamped number is definitely not 194, it could be 193 but I am going to declare the mystery as solved.
