Title: Re: Improvised wrench... Post by jcstokes on 07/17/16 at 18:37:44 Art Webb is probably correct, however, if you're in desperate circumstances, anything's worth a try. |

Title: Re: Improvised wrench... Post by Kris01 on 07/17/16 at 20:33:10 You guys have never used a knife as a screwdriver or anything heavy as a hammer, etc? It's a goofy idea but when you're in a pinch... |

Title: Re: Improvised wrench... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/17/16 at 21:12:26 Who has a good enough collection of nuts and bolts to accomplish that but DOESN'T have wrenches? It's just not reasonable.. |

I have dang near every wrench and socket size there is up to about 1 1/2". From there I have a 15" and 24" crescent, good up to 2 7/16", channel locks grip and deliver torque much better than that makeshift wackadoodle gizmo, I have pipe wrenches from four to 24 inches.. 15 or so hammers, from a body hammer, 8oz. and 16 oz. ball peens, claw hammers, and various short handled hammers, brass, plastic faced, fat rubber for hub caps, and going up to six and ten pound sledgehammers. I don't think a long bed pickup could haul all my tools and heaters and drill press in one pass without wrecking things. Might not make it in two loads,, especially if we toss in the pressure washer and generator. I was a mechanic for the Western company. Same kinda pumps and stuff that Halliburton and Schlumberger use. And I was the mechanic for a small, family owned outfit. We plugged and abandoned wells. If I didn't have the tools for that job, that day, I had to buy what I needed. Call the Matco or Snap On guy, someone would drive out and sell me a tool... I bet they hated me.. make them drive way out to that shop and sell twenty bucks worth of stuff.. Spent more time and gas than the tool was worth.. Ohh, sorry,, was I rambling? :) Thanks, Bot, I appreciate the number. I read it. I used it to compare tools to. You can put it back where you got it now. I don't need it anymore. Gotcha... |

yes, I have, I've used a knife for a screwdriver, a small hammer, and a loid there are better tools for all those things, though, and I don't use the knife if I have a screwdriver (if we ever meet, ask to see then 1 1/8 inch scar on my left thumb from loiding a door with a Kershaw) I've also used rocks and even the but of a revolver as a hammer, still; prefer a regular hammer |

Title: Re: Improvised wrench... Post by jcstokes on 07/18/16 at 20:34:21 I hope the revolver wasn't loaded. |

Title: Re: Improvised wrench... Post by Art Webb on 07/20/16 at 07:50:11 No round under the hammer, quite safe. It was common practice back in the age of the single action revolver to use the butt for a hammer, and common practice to keep the chamber under the hammer unloaded Today keeping nsaid chamber unloaded is unnecessary, as ALL modern revolvers use either a transfer bar or a hammer block safety so the revolver cannot fire unless the trigger is pulled all the way back Of course most of today's revolvers would make crappy hammers, as the butts are no longer flat, as the were on, say, a single action army No coyotes were harmed in the driving of the nails involved, though i did take a few with it the conventional way Wile E seemed to not come under my sites, though |
