Podger spanner

A Podger spanner, or Podger is a tool in the form of a short bar, usually tapered and often incorporating a wrench at one end.

Podgers are used for erecting scaffolding and steel scenery - The pointed end is used to align the bolt holes while the spanner end is used to tighten the nuts.

Variations

Some podgers are fitted with reversible ratchet sockets for tightening/loosening nuts.
