Antique "Fireman's Type" Forged Bed Wrench Key"Forged bed wrenches were the first type of wrench used in America. They are made from a single piece of iron bar. The iron bar is forged around a square mandrell and welded together to make the socket end. This form appears to be the standard prior to the introduction of cast iron bed wrenches. The socket is tapered and can be used on a 3/8" and 7/16" bolt head that is countersunk below the surface of the wood. The tapered slot can be used on a bolt head projecting above the surface. The fork shaped end is used to loosen slotted cap screw type bolts."
