Save some money and buy a monkey wrench.

Would I shop at Mongomery Wards?

This is a Monkey Ward 1/2" extension that I snapped off. (Power Craft)

Trying to get the balancer bolt out of a Honda.
The pipe was about 4 feet long. I ended up taking it to the shop for
the $1000 belt job.


A 3/4" drive may not have broken but when I abused a socket set in such a way, I opted to use the 3/4" impact sockets and extensions with a breaker bar that I had in my collection of mechanical torture devices. ^_^
