That's what I should have bought for my missing Dewalt 4-1/2 angle grinder. I lost the spanner and my other three are all different sized

Certainly worth a try. I'd be worried about it's strength. I've came across some clutches so tight, I had to add a pipe over a 1/2" breaker bar to ever get 'em to break loose. If they ain't too tight, it'll probably work great. Anxious for your report.

I can see why there so tight. After getting that saw fixed, got was running (luckily outside) with no bar or chain or clutch cover. Reving the saw, clutch decides to come off at super sonic speed, parts flying everywhere. Won’t forget that one. Spent hours looking for the parts in the lawn. |

Well, I would not suggest that this thing is over built, but its pins fit in an SXL clutch. 
 The pins are about .150" in diameter, .25" long, and can be spread from 1/2" to about 2" apart. There is a split "lock" washer under the knob that applies some spring tension to the movable jaw, allowing it to move but not flop around. I had to grind about 3/8" off the bolt in the middle to allow the wrench to lay flat against the clutch. The pins are a loose fit in the .190" diameter clutch holes. It would be better if they were larger and fit tighter but it is a universal tool so it is hard to expect it to fit perfectly in any application. I don't have a saw that needs to come apart just now to test the strength. The pins and the handle look about properly matched for strength, adding a pipe handle would not be the right thing to do. For $4, who can complain? Most pin spanners I have seen that were intended to work with electric and pneumatic tools have been fixed, to only fit one hole spacing, or they cost 10x as much. Maybe there is a better quality unit for the same job that would be stronger, most Work Shop branded tools seem to be to be copies of something better. |

I may have to make my own out of tool steel when I need one, no money to buy expensive tools. I told my wife I was going to find a job, she laughed and said you told me that a month before we got married 10 years ago, what do you want now?
