Abstract
A locknut wrench is disclosed. The locknut wrench has a handle having a gripping end with a cylindrical gripping area there adjacent. The handle also has a coupling end formed of spaced parallel arms with a slot therebetween with aligned apertures through the arms. An intermediate portion is formed between the gripping end and coupling end. The wrench has a head in a generally cylindrical configuration having a lower end formed of a cylindrical wall with an upstanding recess for the receipt of a locknut, with a plurality of downwardly extending legs for removable coupling with respect to a locknut to be turned. The wall of the head is formed with an upwardly extending wire port in a generally rectangular configuration for the passage of wires therethrough. The upper extent of the head has an aperture of an enlarged diameter therethrough in axial alignment with the apertures of the handle. A cylindrical pivot pin extends through the apertures of the handle and is coupled with respect thereto as well as the aperture of the head with the aperture of the head being of a slightly enlarged diameter to allow the pivoting of the head with respect to the pin and the handle.
