Spanner, Unknown

Historical information

The "alligator wrench" is a separate type of tool with jaws that resemble an alligator's mouth, not specifically designed for bicycle maintenance, but rather for gripping pipes, rods, and other round stock. This one appears to be used more for bicycles and may have the name 'alligator' due to the jaw like end.

Physical description

Steel multi-purpose bicycle spanner, including a bottle opener. Known as an Alligator (U.S.) or Crocodile spanner (U.K.) because of the serrated jaw. The surface pattern is like a reptile in keeping with the theme. The hole with a slot through it is a wingnut spanner with two sizes.

Inscriptions & markings

Pattern marked on one side to represent a dragon.
