    There once was a man from Saskatchewan
    For crusty tools he did lust upon
    He found just the thing, a wrench fit for a king
    And indeed, in it's name it did say soFor the thrill of the peanut gallery
    He sent his fine tool to AvE
    With less than a moment of awe
    It was straight in the torque'matic's jawsBut upon such a rigorous test
    And against the worthy Wright's wrench
    The old wrench fought well, but in battle it fell
    And blew it's one nut prematurely

  • @halnywiatr
    @halnywiatr 5 років тому +488

    Important Technique Information: A forgotten trick (unless you were taught by a grandfather who used these a hundred years ago) for increasing the strength of the wrench: Place a nut of the same size as the one you are removing into the "opposite-side-jaw", that will transfer much of the force directly to the frame and not through the threaded post. That back overhang is there for important reasons, including right angle turning.

      TheRazzeus There is a ledge on the back end of the wrench that can accept nuts as well he is saying place a nut there of the same size as the nut you are clamping down on and it will decrease side load on the frame basically not allowing it to spring open as easily

    The adjustable is being utilized in the correct orientation but the HTR wrench is going weaker orientation.

    • @thomasalanjensen9375
      @thomasalanjensen9375 4 роки тому +4

      Thats what I was thinking. Want to buy another and test it oriented the other way? The outside corner of the square test chunk was bearing against the tip of the moveable jaw and the base of the fixed. The top jaw then acts like a lever increasing the strain on the nut.

    • @GabeMacDonnell
      @GabeMacDonnell 3 роки тому

      The HTR's lower jaw is fixed, as opposed to the Wright wrench, so he's using them in their strongest orientations, respectively.

  • @bur1t0
    @bur1t0 5 років тому +258

    Actually kind of clever the way that one failed. By selecting a material for the nut to be a metal softer than the thread, the tool can fail and the only cost in repairing it is another nut, and a few minutes filing the metal out of the threads.
    Also not really worth welding one of those tools back together, they're drop forged, so it'll never be that strong again.

    • @arghjayem
      @arghjayem 5 років тому +30

      bur1t0 agreed. It’s designed to fail at a certain point and be easily mended after. Yes the other tool failed at a higher point but it also destroyed the tool to the point where welding it back together is both a higher skill task and kinda pointless because you’re rejoining the weakest part of the tool with a weaker joint. Realistically how often is a tool gonna be under that much strain anyways? Much better to have to replace a nut and refile, than weld a tool back together.

    • @SuperJohn12354

I side tracked and went Automotive. He would just love it. It has a lot of resemblance to the old ford tools in the tool boxes on some of the 1950-1960 era tractors. Love your channel.

    Back in the day, those were referred to as a "monkey wrench", not a spanner wrench. I have a vintage one that belonged to my great grandpa. My grandma has told me that she remembers him using it to repair things. I think it is dated 1890 or close. They were designed to hang onto a square nut or bolt head. Hex wasn't even a twinkle in their eye back then. I think Jody at "Welding Tips and Tricks" can weld water to water.

    • @StudioCluiss
      @StudioCluiss 5 років тому +8

      Yea ive wonderd why we use hex nuts instead of square. It seems like the less amount of sides you have the less likely it would be to strip.

    • @Aubreykun
      @Aubreykun 5 років тому +14

      You're "supposed" to use a full box end of the appropriate size which puts even amounts of pressure on all 6 sides/corners of a hex head, and allows for more angles of engagement.
      Square nuts have advantages that don't necessarily come up often, like being able to put a square nut in a slot so it doesn't turn but is replaceable if the thing strips or wears out, and keeping more of the meat of the flats of an adjustable or open ended wrench on for better leverage. As well they are easier to manufacture.

    • @apollorobb
      @apollorobb 5 років тому +5

      I think the biggest reason we don't use the square nuts anymore is machine automation. Square nuts don't have as many flats and therefore are harder to line up in automated machines. For the HAND JOB they would work fine

    • @iaincorbett2420
      @iaincorbett2420 5 років тому +12

      I've heard also it's hex over square because you need to turn a hex less to expose new flats than a square head. I think 35 vs 90 degrees

    You've got me curious now. I'm going to figure out the clamping pressure of those vise-grip style clamps :D
    EDIT: I tried two different clamps. One with a 3.25" throat and the other with a 10" throat. The max clamping force I could get (while squeezing it shut with my hand) was:
    3.25" Throat: 619.2lbf
    10" Throat: 173.3lbf
    SSSSCIENCE!!!

    Surely replacing the nut, should you manage to break it without massive abuse, be a piece of piss compared to replacing the clampy bit?
    That seems like good design, making the easiest bit to replace the weakest.

    The "crescent" wrench was made by Western Forge, note the small "W F" on the handle. They make them for lots of other tool brands like Martin, Wright, Wilde, Ideal.. and more. They're very good wrenches.

    There is a video.. lol I think it did more than it was ever intended to do though! Not bad for and old style wrench that was intended for square nuts. And look at it this way, the tool didn’t fail, the thumb screw did. You could remake that in no time and be back in business.

    • @IanCaine4728
      @IanCaine4728 5 років тому +2

      That's what I was thinking too. Control the failure mode with the nut threads. I know it was lower energy at breaking, but also prevents catastrophic failure with shrapnel flying everywhere. Oh, sell it for $40 and the nuts for $10. Don't sell the printer, sell the toner....

    I have one of the old style monkey wrenches and they are better suited for some things than a "crescent" wrench (AKA "adjustable end wrench"). For example, recently I needed to tighten the retaining nut under the kitchen counter for my filtered water dispenser. By using the monkey wrench, I could reach in through a drawer opening (after removing the drawer) and tighten it without being able to see what I was working on, thus I did not have to remove everything from under the sink and do painful contortionist movements to get under the sink and try to work around the garbage disposal. It changed an operation that was going to be lengthy and painful to just a minute or two easy endeavor. The right tool for the job -- that's why we have so many different tools ... well, that plus we tend to buy another one when we can't find the previous one because it is lost in our garage *somewhere* ...
    The tool I have is similar to this one and I stumbled across it at a garage sale of a widow who was clearing out all the stuff of her dead husband:
