I have a UM project that I am boxing up for a move to a new shop, and I spotted the original tubular drawtube wrench that I forgot I had. I started playing around with the drawtubes and was wondering how the tangs in the wrench are supposed to fit. Does the top tang engage when loosening, and the bottom when tightening. Sorta a silly question , but you would think both tangs would engage together, but this one doesn't.

The Hardinge wrench only works one way (pushing on the rounded side of the handle), so you apply it to the knob in the direction you want to turn the knob.
