Snath Wrenches

[J.A.F.E.]

Some of you may recall this topic from the old site.

A snath is the long wooden handle of a scythe and the snath wrench is used to adjust and remove/replace the blade.

These turn up around here once in a great while and I've taken a liking to them.

rusty over at Tool Talk (different from our Rusty here) made a thread about it:

The scythe, without the blade is the Snath
The snath without the handles is a Snead
The handle on the sneed which make it a snath so it can become a scythe
is a  Thole.

Go ahead, say that three times fast...

Here is the collection I have amassed so far.

I have never seen or noticed any of those wrenches. Pretty cool and will have to keep an eye out.

They are neat but they are hard to walk away from once you start accumulating a few.

They are cool.  I have two myself.  DOE of course...

[J.A.F.E.]

Of course yours are DOE. You are the banner carrier for DOE.

I have a couple somewhere, now I will know what purpose they serve.
