Those lines you cut into the crescent for grip, can cut to match your measuring tape. A 12 inch adjustable has enough handle to to measure up to 8 inches.
Rather than carrying a crescent on a structural job, over the years I managed to collect some knock wrenches and I'd throw one of them in my bolt bag. With the right size for the job, using a knock wrench to tighten a bolt and your spud to hold the roll you can really stuff some bolts. R D local 25 Detroit. Ironworker extraordinaire and all around nice guy, retired.
i was an ironworker connecter /welder for 20 years till 1980,then transferred from ironworkers to pipefitters ,i wotked in every state as an ironwotker and as a pipfitter i mostly folloowed nuke plant shutdowns and chip fabs, transferred from vermont local 693 to washington dc local and retired from there,i never failed a welding test,ironworkers or pipefitters,i had 17 welding certs for nuke plants,tig, stik, or mig,i like your videos
Also you can wrap the handle in electrical tape then hit is with a heat gun or a blowtorch and it will shrink the tape around your wrench or you can also get wrenches that have rubber handles built onto them
Can't even front, I was grinding the last 2 out😟🤣, that a very good way to do it safely and it stays tight, I'm gonna do mine tomorow, nice pointer 👍✊🏻
I also like to use the round hole for tighten c-clamps. Gives you leverage to get couple good turns. I also notice some come with a end where it fits over a TC nipple to hold it from rolling.
Buy a spud crescent by Klein Tool. Many will open up for a 1". I tack the end of the hole to keep the screw from working out as they will do. Also if you use channel lock pliers bevel the ends of the handle for 4hey work great to pry deck and double as a flat head screw driver as well, u can use that idea.
Jens Ulven yeah nothing workwise about being a bitch and throwing a fit... but aye I was an apprentice and learned from my mistake... humble more calm chantzy now:) Hahahaha How’s the Cali life
and we don't use it much but we also have a 36-inch Crescent just saying you got a nice shop and it's fun to play with stuff but yeah they make all that stuff
Nice video. I like the ones I've seen I know we don't need 1" all that often, but if I need it, I have a spud to swallow a 1" nut...because I'm a workwise JIW. Local 21
Dallas Crist right on... I find myself sometimes in column anchors needing a odd size socket and my creasent gets the job done time and time again... actually today!
@@natas0733 twirling and the jaws have increased gravity did you get the test ----and my flat diamond horseshoe crescent has an old school acetylene wrench welded by ring peace bro--the flat spot mainly for small pucker beams
faith Robinson yeah in the video I discuss doing that... I actually like it opening up super wide till it jumps off easy to clean and it opens up extremely wide the wide opening 12” crescents don’t open up nearly as wide as this crescent..
Umm, you could have mentioned __ just buy a proto clik-stop which opens up big enough to start with..... big enough for 1" structural bolt. How we roll in 751
Did it close to 40 yrs ago. Nothing new, Williams brand adjustables were the easiest to convert and high quality. Why bevel a crescent, don't you carry two spuds and a bar?
Real iron workers use spud wrenches. Sorry dude. It helps line up holes. Keep a hole lined up to run a bolt through the next hole. Allow you to throw a pipe on the end for leverage and etc. I don’t ever see monkey wrenches in the field. Super fast way to round a nut.
To save time .... and time is money.... buy the correct tool the 1st time - not some " rat " crescent. The Proto 12" Crescent opens large enough to grab a 1" lejeune bolt. When I was an apprentice... wise older journeyman told me.... get the 12" Proto and Klein Spuds
Scott Ballin sometimes you’re 100 feet in the air and if you wanna go all the way down to the gang box to get the right tool go ahead... but if the job is 90% 7/8 bolts and a column splice is 1in when I’m connecting I’ll just use my creasent but not saying I’m the best or know the most some people carry a million tools I try to be light

Badass channel man! It’s hard to find good quality ironworker info on UA-cam, I appreciate it gained a sub from me. Work safe brother!
Caleb Morse thanks man many more Ironworker videos to come
OTIS SPENCER heck yeah man! That’s awesome and ive scene it from time to time
So now your tool won't fall.... just the jaw?

What would be the best way to bevel a wrench grinding or filing?

Canadian_Wolf 83 gotcha gotcha thanks for sharing I want my channel to be a place where people learn new ideas

erikaslt yeah that’s a good one! I like em thanks for sharing
Chantz Fabz I emailed you today.
erikaslt alright I’ll check
Use a flapper wheel when finished grinding , really good final results

robert valderaz right on thanks!!!
And I’m not a fan of a spud crescent
Spud crescent is the tool to use ... not them adjustable wrench.... where's your spud crescent " right tool for ironworkers...
@@danellis800that’s an apprentice tool my friend
Do you know how to add a 1in 1/8 bolt nipple wrench to the end of the crescent wrench
I love it how you were like,” if you drop a washer you could kill someone.” “Let alone a FUCKING CRESCENT WRENCH.”
I also grind a small hook in my wedge for pulling cotter pins when working on cranes.
Louis Robles right on that’s a good one!
cool
6:08 your caption is cut off
Bummer:/
Did you use a metabo disk to grind out nocth?
What about kicking buckets off the working floor? You going to do a video on being a super JO?
Jens Ulven yeah nothing workwise about being a bitch and throwing a fit... but aye I was an apprentice and learned from my mistake... humble more calm chantzy now:) Hahahaha
How’s the Cali life
You have learned that in a year?
Jens Ulven yes sir! I let the little things go brother... that was all bad I’ll never do that again
Guys owning it. I bet it took him no more than a cool down to learn that lesson. Not a year. High stress environment some days.
Oh n Chantz. Thanks for not censoring your comments.
Tool lanyards are mandatory in certain jobs
and we don't use it much but we also have a 36-inch Crescent just saying you got a nice shop and it's fun to play with stuff but yeah they make all that stuff
I'm not putting a 36 inch crescent in my back pocket
Aint got a Cresent spud?
No... in the Pacific Northwest hands would kill you for having one of those things
@@ChantzFabz why
@@mightylaidlow1 cause crescent spuds are for Joes
Mine works just fine with the screw ground down
Dennis Cox right on right on!!!
Whenever I’ve seen them ground the jaw has a bunch of play
You sound like a real Joe bahahaha
Cool mod, I’ve been looking for a 1 inch for a while now. Might have to use this HACK *spits flem*

Nice work man
Thanks man
Good job...! I like that
Jared Burns thanks man I still use that crescent today
Don’t be a Joe. I now feel some sympathy for folks with the name Joe from birth . Hilarious. Great video sir and go unions! And Union Ironworkers!
John W. Peterson hahaha work safe man!
No shit.... i know an ironworker named joe steele
I grind a flat spot on both sides of my spud crescent so it don't roll on the steel
I don’t quite follow buddy
@@ChantzFabz ON THE WIDEST PART OF TAPER GRIND A SECTION FLAT--ABOUT A QUARTER INCH WIDE ABOUT 2" LONG
@@ChantzFabz IT KEEPS TOOL FROM SPINNING ON BEAM
Wouldnt the jaws keep it from rolling? I grind a flat spot on my bar washer for non rolling, but doesnt seem needed on a spud.

You could just get a Wide Adjustable12 " crescent. And if you didn't cut the very tip off the jaw then the jaw would not adjust untill it falls out.
faith Robinson yeah in the video I discuss doing that... I actually like it opening up super wide till it jumps off easy to clean and it opens up extremely wide the wide opening 12” crescents don’t open up nearly as wide as this crescent..

DAMNNNNN!🔥 Also, I learned something new! Lol
Ohhhh yeah!!?? Whatcha learn??? I figured you would give me grief like Jens “that jerk” 😂😂😂
Extra work for a weaker tool. They make spuds in the proper size. I don't get this video
Don't have to take it apart to do the same thing use a dremel tool
Grooves at 1” increments 😉
Also if you leave that end piece on and take a bit of thread off the worm instead. The slider won’t fall out
Nice brother.
Jeremy Rios thank you subscribe for more ironworking videos
they make Crescent Spud wrenches
Spud crescents all have a genetic defect- they tend to grow legs and walk away while on a a jobsite.
I rather my sister be a whore than see a brother carry a spud crescent
@@ellexo469 why
Did it close to 40 yrs ago. Nothing new, Williams brand adjustables were the easiest to convert and high quality. Why bevel a crescent, don't you carry two spuds and a bar?
buy squibs for tools
Cant you just buy a bigger crescent
Armando Calpeno yes but then you have a huge crescent youre carrying everywhere
Cool
