I can't remember if we ever discussed it here...

Anybody have a need for a 3-lug wrench? (To tighten/loosen a 3-lug adapter onto a barrel, in case it wasn't clear)
 
@Slacker pointed one out to me last month, but the only use I'd have for it would be to remove an adaptor and I don't know why I'd ever do such a thing.
 
I'm not sure there are really any options on the market. The machinist I use (runs a NASCAR machine shop) worked with another guy I know to come up with these. I don't have anything 3-lug, so I didn't need one. Here's his comment:

A little off topic, but kudos to HEE. He and I worked on getting a set of 3-lug wrenches made up since I never see any available for sale. Ended up doing two hole patterns because different 3-lug adapters from different manufacturers seemed to have different diameters:

They're made out of stainless steel and he sells them for $10/shipped. I've tried to tell him he could well them for 2x-3x that amount, but he's never raised the price. If you want his info, shoot me a message. Not going to post it up here.
