This turbo wrench thing demonstrates one of the problems of this era of
wire feed welders -- no "hot wrench" to help heat and form those custom
tools one finds that they periodically need. With the oxy-acetylene,
you'd just heat it up and bend the excess handle out of the way -- I
have a drawer full of that stuff, most of which I can't remember what it
used to fit ... Moral: use your tool ID engraver to write the name of
it's use on the tool.
never pass up $2 yard sale wrenches, so that you have some to cut up,
reform, bend, and whatever, without having to sacrifice one out of your
"set". I just had to make a 2" stubby out of an offset 1 1/8 that I had
just picked up at Goodwill to tighten up an oil leak on a buddies newly
installed wrecking yard motor.
