Tool to bend or straighten lock washer tabs in confined space. Specifically, the tool is used to bend outward the lock washer tabs which hold the propellor assembly on the end of the motor shaft of an outboard or inboard motor. Such an assembly includes a tube for underwater exhaust surrounding the nut and washer which interferes with lateral approach to the tabs. The tool comprises a handle having a tapered distal point which fits into the central countersink on the end of the shaft. A hook-shaped member is pivoted to the handle adjacent its end. In use, with the point in the countersink, the handle is tilted until the hook fits under the bent tab; the handle is pivoted to a position along the shaft axis, thereby bending the tab. To reverse the bending operation, the handle provides a convenient bending tool.
