I have a Grizzly table saw that I am mostly happy with. However, the arbor wrench is possibly the worst wrench I’ve ever seen. I can almost spread it with my hands. I do not overtighten the nut, yet it still spreads. I talked to Grizzly, and they continue to send out this bad wrench with all their saws. So, I’m looking for a new one, and I see that there are plenty of Unisaw wrenches for sale. I need a 22mm open end, and I can’t find the size for the Unisaw wrench anywhere. Does anyone know what it is?

arbor wrench
Thanks for the answer, but that is more than 5/16 of an inch, which makes it pretty marginal, if it will work at all.
Never mind all, all I had to do is type in "thin wrench" instead of "arbor wrench" and there are tons of them.
My Delta takes plain ol' box opens
The first thing I did when I got my table saw was head over to Sears and bought some nice long box open wrenches for the arbor. Fortunately I can use standard width wrenches on my table saw. Open in the inner arbor side and box on the outside nut. Long was easier to use though I just snug them up.
open end arbor wrench
Just in case anyone else has this problem, it turns out you can undue the blade using a piece of wood to hold the blade, and the box end wrench on the nut (obvious). For tightening, holding the blade with your hand and tightening with the box end wrench on the nut is sufficient.
