I have a BMW factory-issued toolbox wrench for sale .Clips into a premade slot in that factory toolbox hanging under your trunklid for which you get dinged concours points if incomplete .....right ?
It is the flat (non offset !) open-ended 17x19 mm made by Heyco to DIN 895 and with the BMW imprint forged into the center shaft .
The working ends look as if they never met their nut .no scratches , no dings , but there is a funny looking little inclusion in the forging along the shaft .
Anyone missing same from a concours toolbox ? This is THE wrench that your car's PO tried to use to loosen lugnuts or headbolts .then threw away in disgust
Make me an offer (She offered her honour , I honoured her offer , so all night long t'was honour and offer ) ....
Know any nutters who have Moto Guzzi M/cycles ?? I have a factory (part number 12-90-1000) 17x19 mm openended wrench for those too . Interestingly it is shorter, fatter and weighs MUCH more than the BMW one . Probably made from ground-up Vespa scooters and Carcano rifles (?) .. Rusty , chipped chrome everywhere (HEY !! It'sa Hitalian whadda you want ??) .Has 'Moto Guzzi ' forged into the shaft , along with use instructions when picking olives with it.
Allow for boat-anchor shipping from zip 38478
No biggie if no-one needs them . I'll wrap them in blue altar cloths made from virgin dog-hair and dedicated to my favourite deities and drop in my toolbox for my kid to inherit ......if he's good to me and calls often ...

PS I have 3 big virgin dogs with LOTS of hair ...Gt Pyrenees and Olde English sheepdogs ..wooof ! Know anyone who spins and weaves ??
