Is that an Allan key? I've never seen them marked anything other than a single number, in SAE or metric.

I believe it's an open ended wrench, one end is 12mm the other is 13mm.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Odd; I've never seen multiple sizes on one wrench, nor seen them called 'keys'

Never really see those around here anymore. I have a few in old tractors, but most of them have been lost by now and replaced with box end wrenches of single sizes.

Ah, thanks. Never heard a double ended wrench called a key before.

My bad. In Spanish we call them "llaves" and I translated it without thinking.

From German the direct translation to English is screw key.
