    There is a joke in the US about never being able to find a 10mm when you need it. We use them often and they always get lost. You would be an American mechanic’s favorite person!

      Right? I was thinking make one out of 10 mm if you work on metric a lot or 1/2 inch SAE if you work on old American cars a lot. That way you're never without. Those seem the two that are always missing and the two most often needed.

    Great video and idea! Going to sift through my spare tools boxes right now to see if I can find a good fit for my need.

    Dude! I just made one of these remembering this video from quite a while back. What I forgot to do, was give it a chisel grind. I grinded both sides. This thing looks so cruel, I think TSA will have me hauled away!
    Now that I'm watching this again, I will hit the garage again tomorrow and do it right. Thanks for the great content my Brother!!!

    Great idea. I couldn’t find a spanner, but I do have a combination box wrench that should work. Thanks.

    Suddenly bumped into this. This is an interesting idea. I think i can make do rough version of it with my hand tool

    • @JamesKGraves

      You certainly could! Just takes a little more filing 😊

    This is a genius idea, i see the update on the bottle opener too. Maybe one alteration would be to make one from an appropriate size ring spanner, to accommodate a quarter inch double end driver bit ?

  • @JeffMartin2510
    @JeffMartin2510 4 роки тому +1

    Great video! This pry bar will probably last decades of everyday use.

    • @JamesKGraves
      @JamesKGraves  4 роки тому +2

      Thank you! That's the plan; I'm thinking the spanner steel should be able to take a beating 💪

  • @davidcooper4119
    @davidcooper4119 4 роки тому +7

    Great build mate 👌.
    You could also possible cut a small chunk out of the side of the shaft to to open cold beverages.

    You are a Jean knee Ous!!! I've been wanting to make a pry bar for a while now, but thought I didn't have the right steel in the garage. My pops died in August and I've inherited about 1 Billion tools. Especially wrenches.This is a phenomenal idea. I especially like the use of the box end on my key ring, which is a Nite Ize S carbinee #3 25 Lb ring. Thanx for the video My Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

    I love it I've got lots of wrenches of same size that I found in my house that I moved into this is the perfect idea thankyou I have an angle grinder and cutting wheels and flap discs and polishing wheels for my dremel I'm gonna make a bunch for gifts thanks again great vid I subscribed

    I had been looking around at prybars recently. Was opening a bottle of lighter fluid with my PM2 and thought "that's not real smart". Rather than just buy a prybar make your own.
    Thanks for the vid, this will get me rolling on it. 👍👍🔪

    • @JamesKGraves
      @JamesKGraves  3 роки тому

      Haha we've all had those moments 😅 the pry bar is definitely a cheaper (and safer) option 🤣 glad you enjoyed the video buddy, look forward to hearing how you get on with it!

    if you leave it long enough it can double as a kubaton as well. Combined with martial arts training kubatons can be great self-defense tools.

      James Graves hahaha nice man I might have to do this to a 13 mm spanner I have way to many or a 10 it’s nice that the closed spanner can still be used on nuts.

    • @JamesKGraves
      @JamesKGraves  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah man go nuts with it! (no pun intended). Exactly, I use a 10mm so I can take it off my keys and use for battery resets and what not in a pinch 😉

    Thanks I wanted an e.d.c. prybar but lacked the right kind of metal. I have enough spare wrenches to open the gates of heaven.😉 And in my case that would take some doing.🤗😮🤗

    • @JamesKGraves
      @JamesKGraves  4 роки тому

      Haha, great to hear I could help! 😅 Honestly I make so much from old tools nowadays; the steel's just sitting there, perfectly designed and heat treated for purpose 👌😀

      My buddy lives on Busted Tool Road, (Which he got to name,)😁and owns Busted Tool Forge. A passtime of his. He made me a knife from a Heil farriers rasp. I have the exact same rasp by pure coincidence.
