Winchester M12 spanner
It works as promised, one end is for 12 gauge and the other is 20 gauge. It’s made of very good streel and will last a very long time.

Mod 12 Wrench
Quality fore end wrench that fits multiple (12, 16,& 20 gauge) Winchester model 12 shotguns. A very handy tool to have if one works or cares for model 12's!

Great tool
High quality, well made, and rugged. I was able to break loose an extremely stubborn 20 ga forend ring with no damage. It works equally well with the 12 ga Model 97/12.

Nice tool. Simple, sturdy
This tool isn't fancy, but it is very well made and effective. I've used it on both 12 and 16 gauge Model 12s. You can apply a lot of force (sometimes needed with older guns) with this tool, but it fits in the forearm slots perfectly, and mine hasn't slipped yet.

Model 12 wrench
I have had to return two of these wrenches due to the tips breaking in normal use. Essential for removing the forend on a Winchester model 12. Brownell’s stands behind their products, but quality control on this item needs attention.
