Default wrench for lock nuts

Read an older post by someone who was looking for a thin wrench that would fit locking muffler nuts. I've found my old bike wrenches for the gearset work very well. Comes in 14MM size and is very thin. Hope this helps someone.

I used to work on bikes and every once in a while I find the thin wrenches are life-savers. The only problem is that the ones I have are cheap and soft, but they get the job done.

Try looking for something called 'ignition wrenches'. I've seen them at Sears. They're pretty thin.

You might have to buy a set of them - I don't think that they are sold individually....

You might also try a place called McMaster-Carr and look for either the ignition wrenches I mentioned, or look for a 'thin pattern' wrench.

Let me know if this helps.
