Many it's tilted, whatever, I hammer it back flat. Some people grind it off.. I think that's a bad idea.

Funny you should post this.... I have been searching for a "Ford" wrench to add to my tool kit for a job I am applying for in fairhope.

We used the 14" version made by facom or drop forged Chinese version... I think Serow has one pictured on his signature block.

Only thing is, the original ford wrenches are only 9" long with a 2" adjustment when I will be needing a 2 1/2" at least (oil tank coupling nut on a C130 engine).

Ebay has tons of "Ford" wrenches but the facom ones are selling way high... I am not sure I can afford a $40 wrench after spending so much lately on cheap socket sets ect..... i'll post a pic or two of my box I am throwing together.

I have been using cheap Chinese stuff for ever..... easy to replace and some of it lasts a long dang time!

Harbor Freight has become my new "go to" store for stuff, I can buy a whole socket set for what sears (ok..Kmart) wants for a single Chinese made craftsman socket.

I'll be going to a flea market this weekend to see what I can find.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
