On the older adjustable wrenches the pin thru the knurled nut was screwed in.We could take apart for cleaning and repair.I have picked up a couple of newer ones that seem to be put together with a pin that is not removable.Any secrets for getting the pin out of newer adjustable wrenches.

Can you see a hole through the other end of the wrench? If so, you can drive it out with a thin punch.

I suppose the manufacturing of these wrenches were outsourced. The pin is probably too small to drill. Then you can tap the pin so you could pull it out. That would be ideal because then you could put the pin in the opposite way so it will look factory. Or you might be able to find a stock pin to use. Good luck with your project.
