Name That Wrench!

Post by 48lesco » Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:09 am

What's this? Came with some other HM tools I bought for a CB77 kit last year. 23x32 is right for the CA77/72, but this one is too short and has that flag logo I haven't seen before. Looks and feels like 60's vintage. Only thing on the other side is an "M". Any thoughts?
Thanks!!!

It's a box end wrench to fit 23mm and 32mm bolt/nut so ya can tighten or loosen them. .......lm

Might be from a Meguro - which was taken over by Kawasaki.

Good call G-Man! - Did some Googling at lunch today and it turns out it was in the tool kits for a number of 60's vintage Kaws like the A1 Samuri, A7 Avenger, and a few others. That flag logo was on those early bikes and apparently came from Kawasaki's airplane division. Those early Kaws are pretty cool looking, but they don't seem to have the following that the Hondas do.

lm - Ya know it can also be used as a hammer, pry bar, weapon, x-mas ornament, paperweight.... :)

Those things are all true, but I loved Ed's original response, "It's a box end wrench..."

But what are those mysterious numbers on there? Aren't they supposed to be in the internationally recognised increments of 1/16 inch?

Must be some old-fashioned 'rest-of-world' standard..... :-)
