    I've had these for a very long time, having picked them up for £2 each. I've always assumed that they were for tanks / armoured vehicles but would be grateful if somebody could confirm for me. They are over 2' long and very, very heavy! They are both dated 1943.

    I wouldn't doubt for a minute that these size spanners were used on tanks etc!...

    I had an old wooden ammo box at work that had several of these spanners in, they'd been there since the mid '60's at least. Welded one to a 3ft steel bar to use for adjusting/changing the blades on my 8ft Cincinnati guillotine.
