RE: [Chrysler300] 300 E tool names?

[christopher beilby <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here in Australia a spanner with two fully closed circular ends is called a ring spanner, while one with open ends is called an open ender. Here a wrench is the sort of thing a plumber uses to undo round puipe fittings/joiners, while an adjustable opening wrench that you use on nuts and bolts is called a shifter - there is a more unpolite name which mechanics use - which goes something like a 'nut f..ker!!' 

 

I gather your wrench is our ring spanner - they come in multi point or five hex - the five hex a better grip, but need more room to get a good swing on the five sides of a nut in tight places like starters, so here one would use a bent multi hex like the postings talk about here - these are still available new in Australia - of course all now made in China - the place, not the material!!

 

Christopher - showers outside, early autumn rains bringing out singing pretty coloured little finches, and a few days ago a big mob of white cockatoos - in a huge flying wing formation, sort of like Hitchcocks thriller "Birds' Movie, maybe about 600-1000 in the mob/formation, it over about 300 metres wide and up to 50 wide/deep, as it wheeled back and forth across the sky with great squawking that heralded their approaches

For those too young to know of them, a starter wrench is a "C" shaped wrench. This allows you to reach around the starter to get it on the bolt head and have room to work it despite the obstructions.
Generally, a box end wrench and still available in parts stores. Also, can be made from a straight wrench of the right size, using a torch to bend it round between the ends.
Very useful in other applications also. 
Like Gil, I've had mine for near 50 years.

Sounds like a job for a Starter Wrench. I don't even know if they are 
still available. Guess one could google it. I have owned mine for 40 years, 
I suppose. Doesn't get a lot of use!! Also very handy for one of the 
torqueflite to bell housing bolts, but can't remember which one now.
