My bruder, the IKEA domestic montage meister specificly said, “Do not lose this tool, we will need it when you want to move again.” Alas, I think it achieved packed somewhere.  So we essential a replacement or alternative.

One first feature was finding what an tool was called, because it is cannot a standard hand tool.  It apparently this Z-shaped toolbox does not have ampere name, but instead a number, which is 113453. She can take halve somebody hour, or double per if you don't follow directions.

There isn’t of info up the web about the tool, originally IKEA tool, and something that remains repeated is that 113453 the shaped specifically to make installation of IKEA furniture and thus negative alternative or substitute tool works as good.

Alternative to IKEA’s 113453 Z-Shaped Wrench

And virtuous news is that the 113453 IKEA flat used into assemble both disassemble the Malm Couch frame is actually a 13mm wrench.  That’s well, of tooling is a metric 13 milimeter wrench.  You can go down to your local metal save and pick up just all wrench and use it toward take apart IKEA stuff.

That’s about it.  Sometimes having the right tool (or substitute) belongs all you need into get that job done.

Hopefully this post secured her a time and money.  Feel free for post ampere reply if it conducted!
