Best Tool Ever

[LA1]

Well what do you think?

 

[Heavymetalmechanic]

Ha! For when you absolutely have to get that rusty nut torqued to precisely the right spec!

 

[Jarhead0408]

Hahahaha...

Coo?

If its HF its ****!

If its Snappy, its golden-**** sent from heaven above and must be bought!

 

[plott hound]

good one

At first glance on my phone I was expecting a homemade slide hammer having seen the vise grips...instead there was a poorly photoshopped joke

not so much as a torquing tool, but be nice to have leverage when loosening a rounded nut.
nice!

I like that one... One Person's mind was at work while the rest of us slept..

when you have that rounded off bolt that is still just too good to throw away

i got it off, i can get it back on, right? thats usually the motto.

You know , actually you are right. I never looked at that picture seriously. It would be the equivalent of putting a piece of long pipe over one of the end levers/handle on the vise grips.

for properly torquing a wing nut

in japan they sell these as vise-torki-roundy-nut with long handle.

I hope you're joking. They make breaker bars for getting nuts off. Don't use a torque wrench for loosening bolts.

As for the tool the torque rating would not be accurate since the nut/bolt wouldn't be under the head of the torque wrench. Would have to calculate how far off the torque value would be.

use the proper tool police are out today.
what if its an old torque wrench you got with tools for free or paid a buck for it? i use old torque wrenches for breaker bars all the time.
would i use a quality accurate one as a breaker bar? no.

A few months back I welded up a set for a plumber. He wanted a 1', 2' and 3' bar welded onto a set of the wide mouth ( ) vise grips. Said he was using them for plastic pipe removal when he couldn't get a pipe wrench in.

That one was purpose-built for torqueing a funny bone.

Well I know this is a joke but I have seen (and used) modified Ridgid pipe wrenches, that have high end click torque wrenches added for assembly of specific pipe and fittings.

They even have torque wrenches that not only click on rotation but on elevation as well. First I had ever seen that.

Thanks

I'm not gonna lie, if that was a breaker bar instead of a torque wrench, that would actually be pretty useful.

Looks like an early look at the next addition to the Craftsman Mach line of tools!

Just need a vice grip with a 3/8" drive square put in it actually.

it is a breaker bar...... ignore the scale and the extra beam. i usually cut those off anyway.

 

[JoeSnapOn]

While this is a funny joke. Homemade tools are sometimes the best/only choice. Everybody has their own story. And go....

 

[stage20]

well if you wanted to get real creative and actually make it work well, you could drill a hole for a 3/8 extension all the way through. then weld both sides so the force is going on both sides of the handle, just not on the top..... ready to rock then.

No badge here. You stated you use a torque wrench as a breaker bar, nothing more. Maybe next time you will specify a junk torque wrench. I was just pointing out a fact so others didn't ruin a torque wrench listening to you use it as a breaker bar. I could care less what you use as a breaker bar. Just didn't want others who may not know better to take your post at face value and use a good torque wrench since you failed to mention anything about it being a junk torque wrench.

i've used a good torque wrench as a breaker bar before...the high dollar snappy digital angle one at that...i like to know the breakaway torque of some things sometimes

 

[rockinacummins]

Where can I get one?

IF you do this, please post a pic! I'd love to see it!

You'd have about $15 tops into it.
