So what is it that opens your garage door now though? 

So nobody wonders why I said that? Nobody is even going to ask?

What? Am I the only person out there in the whole world that looked up the part number stamped on the handle on Jim's awesome transmission spinner device? Just me?

Evidently that number wasn't Obvious to the rest of us 😉

And finally life makes sense! I just realized what that piece of scrap used to be! And only you would zoom, google that PN and find out what it was.

I first thought that on certain garage doors of a certain period or place could be manually wound up or down with a crank and you were just wondering why I repurposed mine to this use. Silly me.

I interpolated that it was part of a garage door mechanism from your post.

Saved me from doing what you did.

I just bought a cheap Amazon 10 mm 6point box end wrench and turned it into a flare nut wrench by using a thin cutoff wheel and making a 3/16 gap in the end! 

Oh, and by the way... Great minds think alike! Here's some pics of mine I made who knows how many years ago.

I used a cheap-o 12-point though because I figured that since I was going to be clamping the crap out of it with vice grips anyway, I opted for the maneuverability instead of the strength:

Battle scars on the outside from all the vice-grips:
