This is the spanner wrench I've been using on the two nuts on the left side of the mini lathe head stock. Didn't see that it was cast crooked until yesterday.
The hook on it is too wide anyway so it's barely usable on those two nuts. Another item added to my project list.

That's a junior politician wrench; only slightly crooked.
I think I used a couple of cheap ER32 collet wrenches.

I can't really tell what I'm looking at in the first picture, but it looks like your "new" hook is wider that the original one.
You need to buy a Laser sintering 3D printer so you can go direct to metal. :)

The original is .375" wide, mine is .25" wide. In my first picture it's the depth from looking at it sideways as is shown in my picture away from you or towards you. Clear as mud?

I guess it was easier to print than to make it out of metal.
C'mon, Ed. We need some updates!
