Default DIY crow's foot wrench


"Pilgrim" wrote in message

Having just put a new thermocouple in a water heater and without my
crow's feet[which would probably been too big for the job].
question 1 does any one make 1/4" drive crow's feet?
question 2 If I were to heat a combination wrench with the oxy torch and
bend the open end to 90 deg would I have to re temper, heat treat,or???

Thanks in advance.

I've seen many and made a couple of distributor wrenches out of long
wrenches heated and bent. Of course, you must treat it afterward to make it
stronger. I don't recall a 1/4" drive, but it's likely available. Maybe
not made because of likelihood of twisting off when used with a cheater
pipe, as some people would tend to do. ;-)
