    I've had a look on the web, but can't find it, a few years back I saw a picture of a pair of ring spanners used as handles like these but one end of the spanner had been twisted around so both the rings were in the same plane. The effect was such that it looked much more like a handle and you had to look twice to see it was formed from a ring spanner.

    I may still have it fletty if you have a single door somewhere....although the tricky bit might be finding the right sized bolts for it...

    Well, after a considerable net search, I dunno what it is, but I do know what it's not. It is not an Obstruction Ring Spanner, but it's pretty damn close. An ORS Has a similar handle (although slightly asymmetric) but the rings are set perpendicular to mine, so the rings and handle are all in the same plane.

    Where's crowie or lappa when you need 'em?

    BTW, I even have a small double header Adjustable Spanner, which is quite a talking point.

    Brett, I never paid too must attention to specific spanner names for the different styles...but maybe Gedore can help....

    https://de.gedore.com/en/products/ou...ange/spanners/

    or Wikipedia

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrench

    and here to expand the search are heaps more.

    Apologies Alan for all the fuss, I just found the beaut photo of the "re-purposing" of a couple of old ring spanners...cheers

    Rummaging through my tool box trying to find something similar

    I’ve never seen a purpose made Spanner like that but I have seen Spanners bastardised for special purpose that look similar to that.

    I have a very vague recollection that it may have been supplied with the lawn mower dad used in the 1950s.

    I remember a double ended single hex “box” spanner thst came with some mowers. Suited the spark ply and a faster I think that locked the raise and lower mechanism ???
