Thin 3/8" wrench
Sheesh! Airplanes are apparently a bargain....
Thanks for the information about a second class of bike wrenches. Peter "Cy Galley" wrote in message news:nia7h.148036$aJ.132191@attbi_s21... They make some very nice thin tool steel wrenches for Bikes. And they are NOT for emergency use. Check at your local bike shop and look at the bikes for $5 to 10 thousand dollars. -- Cy Galley - Webmaster www.qcbc.org "Peter Dohm" wrote in message ... That's WRENCH, not wench you dirty minded garlic guzzling cigar chomping old pharts. I've got a very thin (0.050") 3/8" wrench that has been in my toolbox since Eisenhower. Over the years, it has rounded its jaws off to the point where it is fairly useless. The maker of the wrench, one H.H. Smith in Brooklyn NY no longer makes this tool. Other than taking an ignition wrench and grinding it down, does anybody have a source for stamped thin metal wrenches? Jim I don't know where to buy a good one; but if you do have to grind down an ignition wrench, which is quite likely, be sure to use plenty of coolant! Otherwise the result is a very soft wrench, which is little better than those stamped and punched things that are sold for emergency repair of bicycles. :-( Peter |
