I've been running Power Only loads with my own authority lately (pretty much sucks btw). But, I've seen a few Conestoga loads recently and they always note that I need my wrench? What is a Conestoga wrench? I've never heard of it before.. obviously never pulled a Conestoga either but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.
TIA

With the aero it's a hex tool. Aero 0201-963609 Rear Lock Handle Assembly for Conestoga XP - Trison Tarps USA
With QuickDraw it's like an oversized lug nut wrench you would use on a wheel..
It tightens the curtains. It's necessary to open and close the back. It's easy to misplace but can be replaced on Amazon if you know it's size. Aero can use any old hex tool in 3/8" -
So, its not universal at all? What wrench you need depends on what tarp system they have? Sounds about right..lolWalk Among Us Thanks this. -
Here is the QuickDraw wrench
1 1/4" Crank Handle - Trison Tarps USA -
Thanks. I asked on a FB group as well.
Im thinking I need a 3/4 break over bar with a 1-1/4 socket and then a 3/8 hex tool fit the same 3/4 break over
Would those 2 cover everything out there? -
Arky Thanks this.

Im sorry the hex head may actually be 3/4" . It's been a while.

We have a Eagle system that uses two ratchets , I highly recommend Eagle
