Check out my new tool!

[FMJ]

For Multi head nuts. . .

I used a Craftsman PRO wrench for the boxend donor, do you think they will honor the warranty if I break it?

Why not use a crows foot socket?

very close to what I did I used a 7/8 in o2 sensor socket they work very well.

Nice! Did you GTAW that yourself? What filler? All that Cr-Mo would scream over-alloy with an ER309 to offset brittleness unless you PWHT but that might affect box end durability.

 

[Tackettr]

Looks good but can you get a ratchet or breakover on it?

I provided the pieces to a professional welder, he told me he used stainless for the weld, not sure about the details, but it does hold in a test to 180 lb/ft

They come in metric too...

If you buy from Mac, or Snap on they make them up to 3"... I have one for 3 1/16th

I saw those, but was not confident they would torque a head nut to 158 lb/ft

 

[Bighurt]

Buy one and try it if it breaks its craftsmen get your money back... guarantee man, gotta love it.

The Snap on ones are rated at 2000 in/lbs...

Yes

ER309 is over-alloyed 304 stainless.


Keith_J does weld

Umm....Your new tool looks kind of short!

Yeah but it's big around. . .

 

[RANDYDIRT]

Did you refigure your torque settings to compensate for the offset?

 

[Divemaster920]

[swbradley1]

Is it because it will slip off or what? If it is because of the slight offset you will have the same problem with this box-end welded to the socket extension. Not doubting you, just want to know.

I myself could never bear to do that to any of my Craftsman tools. I'd buy a throwaway set from Harbor Freight or Northern.

A Crows Foot Wrench will not work for the Head bolts by the injectors.
Yes, I would like to know how to calculate for the offset also.

C=D(A/A+B)

A=Length of wrench (measured from center of lug to center of handle)

B=Length of adapter (measured from center of lug to center of nut)

C=Torque Wrench setting

D=Desired torque at fastener
