I'm looking at making a couple bigger ones for pipe taps, and I am
leaning towards a 4 piece. Two pieces of round bar threaded on one
end and two drilled pieces of square bar with a V cut in the middle.
Its not as fast to make as a simple two piece, but for most jobs a
tool another tool would not be required to change taps.


The two bar version with thumb screws doesn't need a wrench either.
Like this, in my local hardware store.

Ya gotta love the pricing: $0.36 + $9.25 shipping


I like the custom look of turning only the edges off the square stock
handles, leaving a flat down the center that blends into the square on
the working end, and a hemisphere at the outer end, which you can turn
with a corner rounding end mill in a boring bar holder.

That tool is a two bar brake line nut wrench that clamps around the
mangled nut and swages it back to hex shape as it loosens it. It was
in the little bag of home made goodies that got me the job at Segway.

Pic, please. It sounds interesting.


Yessir. I sure would love to see that. I was picturing how it was made
until you basically said it can securely hold a square object or reshape
a hex shaped object. Then my brain went Bzzzzzzt!
