Key to making this work is purchasing the items used or otherwise,

That idea might be less expensive to carry out if you just welded a 1/2"
drive socket to the end of a 1/2" breaker bar.

It all depends what one has available in the junk box.

But whatever he does, *don't* weld the items together.
I've found that the HAZ becomes brittle sometimes that
way, and the tool will snap at the weld. Brazing is
really better.
