Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Ford supplied TWO different wrenches that fit cylinder head bolts, one that had an open end on one end and a closed box end on the other end. Then there was another wrench that had a closed socket type end on one end and an open end on the other end. Which type is T-2335 ?

They are both T2335, the one with the socket end for head bolts is 1913/1914 till about 1920 and the box end is till the end of production.

Thanks, Pep.

The same wrench is used for loosening demountable rim nuts.

Maybe the revision to box-end may have something to do with the above?

PS: Has anyone ever seen a nickel-plated T-2335 wrench? I go to a lot of estate sales in the Twin Cities and saw one but passed on it because the open-end was spread out. I can't remember if the other end was socket or box-end.

And that same wrench is useful in adjusting an NH straight thru. Might even work on an NH humpback too. When I’m ready for a drive, I turn on the gas. Hand crank/choke it 2-3 times, grab my trusty T 2335 out of the toolbox to tap the carb 4-5 times until the stuck needle loosens up. ;o)

There is a different wrench for the TT. It has an additional "box?" hole inboard of the large open end. It probably has a different part number. Nickel plating is not uncommon on some of the aftermarket tools. i have never seen it on factory Ford tools.

I have several Ford 3Z & 5Z shop tools that are nickel plated.
