Sparkplug wrenches for sale
I bought a box of misc. sparkplug wrenches (most without handles) hoping to find a GPW marked version for my tool kit. Some were NOS or repacks, some were well used, some are unique (in another post), but they're all perfectly serviceable tools. Didn't get what I wanted though, nor did I get a WO marked wrench as a consolation prize. I did however get a bunch of perfectly suited sparkplug wrenches for our tool kits and they're all for sale. Price is based on condition or commonality and doesn't include shipping. I made 5-3/8" long handles with squished ends based on the NOS wrenches that came with handles and they turned out pretty good.

Price edit; deduct $2.00 from any of the posted prices above. You still gotta pay for shipping though. Buy a bunch, I can get several into a Small Flat Rate box!

Re: Sparkplug wrenches for sale
I'd like to buy a few. What's the significance of the difference 41-W numbers? I'm inclined towards one marked with a 41-W whatever and a Mossberg or two.

Re: Sparkplug wrenches for sale
The significance of the 41-W number seems to indicate time periods. We assume that the lower number suffix "30" preceeds the "40" which then precceeds the "50". I don't think we "know" much more, and in fact, I think we're assuming even this. The MB and GPW had their own unique part numbers for these and surviving examples seem to be rare. The 41-W numbers seem to be replacements, possibly/likely post-war, but prior to 1952, as many NOS wrenches come wrapped and dated to that year. I think the Mossberg is just another mass-produced post-war replacement, also from the early '50's. The Mossbergs seem to be quite common compared to the others, but the "40" suffix parts also seem to be common.

Re: Sparkplug wrenches for sale
Yes, these are all correct for the WWII jeeps, depending on how we define “correct”. I believe that, based on the non-Ford/Willys specific part numbers, that these, with the 41-numbers, were issued as replacements. I don’t know why they made the changes or what the differences are concerning the part number suffix's. I never use these, not enough leverage with that short handle and my arthritis...But, they’re part of the onboard vehicle tool kit and your Jeep isn’t complete without one. It's item W in this picture from the manual.retro-roco wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 5:49 amNoobie question here: do they all fit the same size spark plug??
Here's a somewhat outdated explanation from jeepdraw: https://g503.com/oldsite/tools/wrench_s.htm

Re: Sparkplug wrenches for sale
I don't have a jeep... didn't know if any of these were appropriate for a Chevy G506.

Re: Sparkplug wrenches for sale
I'm sorry, but I have no info on that. If the manual is similar to the jeep manual there should be some mention of a tool kit and its contents somewhere in a chapter on vehicle equipment or such.retro-roco wrote: ↑Sun Jan 30, 2022 6:05 pmI don't have a jeep... didn't know if any of these were appropriate for a Chevy G506.

Re: Sparkplug wrenches for sale
The NOS wrenches are gone but there’s still a few of the others remaining.
