Wheel wrench styes

[zed2]

I have two different style wheel wrenches, both fitting the stock Series 1 lug nut.

As you can see, the primary difference is the position of angle tip, one parallel (top) one perpendicular (bottom), to the handle.

Most 240Zs appear to have the bottom style.

Does anyone know the model year application to both top and bottom styles?

Thanks,

Keith

My 4/1971 Z has the bottom style.

This is interesting, my 01/70 has parallel, 06/72 has perpendicular. Both have letter “ NISSAN “ in the Nissan hamburger mark .

Kats,

I had to edit the descriptors to better represent the position of the tips.

So to clarify, your 01/10 has the top style, your 06/72 has the bottom style?

Thanks,

My early '72 has the horizontal hubcap popper as shown in the OP's pictures. I guess it's actually perpendicular with the wheel nut end. Easier to pry with the later style.

Hi Keith , sorry for my poor English skill , I want to say my 01/70 is like the bottom, 06/72 is the top . 
I like these topic !

Yes sir, my '77 has the same.

Whoa! I'm totally WRONG!

I'm so sorry for my mistake.
