    I think that might be a freebie bike wrench. I think some bikes come with them so you can tighten the wheels.

    Either that, or for a piece of furniture. I know that some office furniture comes with these. But a bike wrench also seems very plausible to me.

    It also looks like a bifold or pocket door hardware adjuster. How big is it?

    Nah, that's a wrench for a bicycle, power tool, etc. Notice the hexagon shape, at the one end...like it would go on a bolt. the open end is the same.

    I've got a ton of them stupid things. Every time I think I'll get rid of them, I find a use for them. LOL.

    My circular saw came with one as did a couple other power tools.

    I could be wrong but...nah..not really. A wrench is a wrench is a wrench.

    My first thought was it looks like one of those wrenches that use to come with an appliance with a gas line.

    That is a swedish torture devise. They come with Ikea furniture. There sole purpose is to frustrate you until you snap resulting in a very heated phone call to their customer support in India.

    lol

    If I'm wrong then I hope this is the right answer. This makes me laugh for some weird reason.

    Heck I got one that came with my grill.

    Sometimes I get a stack of them for free at yard sales an such.

    Sirscrapalot - Hey, wrench, bring me another beer! - No I didn't spell wench wrong.
