I turn a Nut into a tiny Adjustable Wrench

- In this video I'm turning a stainless steel M20 nut into a tiny adjustable wrench. All three parts are completely made out of one single nut. First I turned the thread and the hexagon away on the lathe. After cutting a slit into it I was able to open it up with the help of a torch. A few heats later I had a very straight and flat piece of stainless steel. I first went then on the milling machine and milled the whole part to the final width of the wrench. I then cut of a piece with the hacksaw to make the body out of it. With a tiny t-slot endmill I was able to mill the t-slot very nicely with a very low feedrate and a lot of oil. After milling the square hole and drilling the deep 2.1mm hole I started to shape the outer contour. Then I moved on by making the movable part of the wrench. I milled it all in one operation with very careful steps to not risk and chatter marks or whatsoever. After filing the square bit round I sanded the rectangular part until it fitted nicely into the body. I then cut the M2 thread and cut the piece off with the hacksaw, assembled it with the body and sanded both parts flush. Then I started rounding off all edges with needle files, sandpaper and finished it with very fine steel wool for a brushed finish. All what's left to do now was making the knurled adjuster nut. For that I forged the remaining of the nut into a square piece, which I could clamp in the four jaw chuck on the lathe.I turned it round, supported it with a live center, put the knurling onto it, drilled and tapped the hole, chamfered it and parted it off. Then it was just a matter of quickly assembling the three pieces.
This was a very cool little project for me. I really like how it turned out. It's a very cool little item in my opinion.
Here's the link to the restoration video of the big adjustable wrench at the end of the video:

Thanks a lot for watching this video! If you liked it, I suggest you also watch the restoration of the big brother of this small wrench, which was the template for the small one.
th-cam.com/video/xfApbO-Pza8/w-d-xo.html
is this tool forsale?
It's called a shifter mate 👍
@@PatrickLeeUS.m? B 7
I will.
I had the 'big brother', actually. By a brand called 'King Dick' (which is pretty epic all by itself ;)). From somewhere between 1920-1930. (Found an ad for it in an old catalogue for fl. 1,- (one Dutch guilder. Aka 1 dollar. Back when money was worth something ;))
This brought back some nice PTSD of me hand-finishing the first 500 of these I ever sold. Truly fantastic work! Now I need to make an even smaller one for sale. IT'S ON!
Do you think MM did this on purpose to see what you can respond with?
Duelling mini-wrenches, lets go.
Let's go!
The Adjustable Wrench War
The first molecular adjustable wrench!
😂😂😂 game on fellas 😂😂😂
This guy is the best restoration TH-camr hands down. Everything he does is nothing short of incredible and has been keeping me entertained going on 4 years now
He's the only one who doesn't add forced comedy, doesn't have "mascots", doesn't say "Subscribe" every five seconds, doesn't add music, etc. Just pure content.
Thanks a lot for your support :-)
@@mymechanics No problem! Thanks for all your great work over these last few years, it's been a great pleasure watching it all
@alexandercurtis4427 nice pfp
Also great job my mechanics
@@samquigley2447 Thanks, you got a pretty rad one as well
The one thing goes so easily overlooked in these videos is just how dang good your photography is. It truly is exceptional to see how far you have come in your craft.
Yes! My brain hurts just trying to think through the steps he takes in the build / restoration... Now imagine programming angles and shots before each step.
@@IFGchannel931 HARD work. Time consuming processes. Yeah, definitely boggles the mind.
Very good indeed!
Seriously, every shot is perfect and his precision is so great it's easy to forget how small these pieces are
Because of your channel i started to restaurate historical garden tools. I have not one hundrets of your talent or knowledge, but the pride i feel when i made out of an old and rusty crooked rake a tool that looks like new is totaly worth the hours of work.
Hand Tool Rescue is going to go nuts when he sees this. Some of your finest work.
Agreed!
This is a declaration of war if I ever saw one, so much for Swiss neutrality!
Say what you will about a Switzerland-Canada war; at least the snacks would be amazing.
"nuts", I see what you did there 👀
@@RemiCardona So what did he do? Please explain and elaborate on your thoughts, brother!
Watching this channel has actually encouraged me and allowed me to become more patient when doing things. Thank you!
Absolute madlad my mechanic is. Such precision is to be expected of one of the best restoration channels ou there. Bravo!
Such precision is to be expected of a Swiss guy hehe
One of the best? The best. One and only.
The best
“one of”??? You take that back, my good sir! My mechanics is THE best.
Regarding your phrase ‘one of’: if you can name the channels that produces the same quality work with the same consistency and video editing quality PLEASE tell me.
As a machinist, I am completely stunned and awed by the incredible artistry in this video. Engineering and machining is an art🤩🤩🤩
And here I thought the stainless bolt into a combination lock was the pinnacle in regard to your ingenuity and creativity. Thanks for once again, surpassing my expectations. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Please make this a series. It was common back in the day for apprentice machinists to make miniature tools in a set.
Yep ! I made a basic vernier caliper and I still use it to measure drill bits
I made a miniature vice as my very first engineering/machining project, it was actually a lot of fun.
Don’t know which one impresses me more: the machining or the macro-photography. Both are absolutely fantastic!
these mighty all repairing channels on youtube are one of the best things that happened to the internet
My grandfather, a Swiss engineer and tool-and-dye maker, told me "If you want to know a machinist's worth give him a piece of steel and a file and see what he can make." This wrench is evidence of this machinist's worth. The results are stunning and the video is perfect. Thanks again for all of your efforts to share your artistry with us.
Yes, this is art.
Токарный фрезерный станок это напильник?
@@alexey4580 я сделал такой же напильником. На станках быстрее.
Yep agree 👍 my mechanics is the best 👌
He's a good machinist, no doubt. But, he did use more than a piece of steel and a file. He has some VERY nice toys too. Yes, I am envious.
Fabulous. I love mini items and this just tickles my fancy, MM. Thank you for the joy & happiness your work brings. I have a grin on my face!🤗😁
This was fun to make, the size was challenging at points. At least it was easy to handle. Now I'm ready for a big project ;-) Thanks Vickie
@@mymechanics that's what she said........
@@danhewitt1984 😲 That's a bit far afield.
@@mymechanics Do You make micro lathe? :D
@@danhewitt1984 pathetic
Your measurements are incredible, so precise! As always I’m impressed by your patience and fine craftsmanship. Takes a lot of dedication to saw and file that much metal.
Did you see how small the tool was? There was hardly any material to begin with lol.
It would not take a long time to remove this much material.
Now, the tolerances, for something this size, really impressive.
@@CadillacDriver well that’s true I guess lol
I left extra 0.1mm material on the movable part when I milled it. Oh boy, that was a mistake... it took several hours to sand it down to a nice fit in the t-slot.
@@mymechanics 0.03 will do good?
Hello my mechanics! 🔧 Your video on turning a stainless steel M20 nut into a tiny adjustable wrench is nothing short of impressive! The level of craftsmanship and ingenuity involved in creating all three parts from a single nut is truly remarkable.
Watching you skillfully use the lathe, torch, and milling machine to shape and transform the nut into the final product is a mesmerizing experience. The precision and attention to detail that you demonstrate throughout the process are evident.
this reads like an AI wrote it
I find your sheer skill and patience as a machinist quite admirable. I keep coming back to your videos because very few other channels show your level of both creativity and care. Always looking forward to the next video!
Clickspring has entered the chat
Thank you very much!
your cinematography is getting better and better. Every shot in this video is perfectly thought through. Like the camera moving synchronized to the drill or having that perfect black backdrop at the CNC machine. Makes the whole video so satisfying to watch
This is the only YT channel where I watch EVERY new video from start to finish without skipping bits etc. For me, truly mesmerising stuff. Bravo.
Thank you so much for the support, I really do appreciate it!
Просто невероятно! Безумная сложность, сколько инструментов и усилий для такой простой, казалось бы, вещи. Мастеру безмерное уважение
Непонятно, зачем была нужна гайка. Если можно было начать с пластины.
@@AlexEye70 у меня тот же вопрос, для такого изделия больше подойдёт пластина инструментальной стали, хотя бы напильник, но точно не мягкая сталь гайки !!!
I didn’t really understand how small it was until he called out that the threads were M2. 😲 So tiny and so perfect. And somehow there was even a bit of material left over!
Beautiful work, as always! ❤
Absolutely brilliant. My late father used to make minitures like this. This video reminded me of him and the skill he had. Love it !
When a master meets a piece, he brings the masterpiece.
Thank you, dear MM! Unprecedentedly awesome!
Thank you too!
Unglaublich! Es ist schön dass es noch Menschen gibt, die solche Präzisionswerkzeuge händisch herstellen können! Tolles Video, vielen Dank!
Danke für das Lob!
I’m so glad to see this video. The original adjustable wrench restoration is some of my favorite work of yours, and I’m very pleased to see it reprised here. Every step is essential; every action worth the time - the final product is as perfect as it can be.
Thank you very much!
Agree x 1 Billion
I am so glad not only that you made this but that you shared it with us as a video!! I love how it came out. Amazing craftmanship
Thank you so much!
It is the highlight of my month when a new My Mechanics video drops. This video did not disappoint, outstanding work as usual 😀
Same! I saw this drop this morning and have been looking forward to it all day. Incredible!
for real my mechanics my beloved 🫶🫶
To a non-mechanic/non-machinist, this is like watching the secrets of magic being exposed. Simply amazing! 👍
One of my favorites so far! The amount of work you put into this channel is amazing!
Happy to hear that!
One of the very few channels that make it seem like all I do in my shop is bang rocks together! Awesome work as always!
Are you kidding me with this? That is the most amazing thing I've seen in a very long time. Thanks for sharing your enviable talents.
My favorite restoration channel. The author is not so much a mechanic as an artist. These restorations are objects of art
This video makes me so happy. Your work is impeccable, as always, but something about miniature tools just makes my day. I really needed this to finish out my week. MM, you are an inspiration and a madman. Total respect.
Thank you very much!
Cant say I instantly watch any other channels new videos immediately except this one. The amount of dedication, precision and attention to details is so enthralling to watch!
I was almost disappointed that you didn't have a tiny nut to adjust, but you saved the whole video right at the end.
Adorable.
Little did we know that that final nut was the start of the next miniaturisation loop...
This amount of precision and elegance in the execution of the work along with the creative mind is amazing.

You’re work is remarkable, particularly looking at what you choose to do. There’s some real poetry transforming an object that is rotated into a an object that rotates! Best of all, you’ve changed my approach to my own projects. I’m trying things I never would have conceived of before I saw what you do. Bravo!
Wow, thank you!
I came across your video and it was the best 11 minutes of my time watching what you started from and the end of what you made.
You are a very patient and very clever person to even think what you can make from a nut of the size.
You have all the tools at your disposable so yes great vlog and keep on showing your master skills work to a different level.
Would love to see a video tour of your workshop ! I'd be so interested to see where you've incorporated some of your past restorations into your arsenal of tools that you use to then restore future projects. It'd be like going down a trip on memory lane :)
You can see my shop in a lot of patreon videos.
Absolutely enjoyable to watch that transformation. I wasn't even doubting you could do it even a little... Perfect!
This is just on a whole new level. I doubt anyone can match this much level of expertise, precision and dedication. Amazing work as always.
The precision and perfection with which you work is so unique, the only thing is the long wait between your videos. I consider your work to be the work of God.
I've watched all your videos. I haven't seen anyone better than you.
I love your work, it’s so precise. Had you started this video with you chucking the nut in the vice and then cut to a working wrench followed by an “et voila” I wouldn’t question it.
Machining small stuff is actually quite difficult and tests one's abilities to the max in some applications, especially when working with normal sized machinery (hence why you can find miniature lathes that can cost as much as a second hand (good) car). One of my first miniature projects was a small vise. Took me 3 re-tries to get it right. It's not as easy as it looks. One sneeze and you've milled away the whole project.
The level of patience it takes to complete a project like this is laudible. That's my biggest obstacle in learning machining right now is getting antsy to reach a finished product.
this took me back some 55 years to when i made one of these in metalwork at school thank you
As usual, incredible work my mechanics. You never disappoint us. And if this tiny wrench was for sell I'd buy it with no hesitation.
Thank you very much!
MM needed 6 working days for this project. For the working time, one would have to calculate at least 200 EUR per day, and thus this tiny adjustable wrench would cost 1,200 EUR. The material costs are not included in this calculation. I think almost all buyers would hesitate.😉
Was für ein Talent du bist 👏🏻… hoffentlich sehen wir uns beim nächsten Ch Besuch einmal , Peter würde sich auch riesig freuen . Liebe Grüße aus 🇨🇦
The Skill and Ingenuity is beyond Amazing. What is even more amazing is the photography. Well lit, In frame, steady,
clear and always in focus!
The thing I love about you and this channel is, I can automatically give you a thumbs up without even looking at the video. You are without a doubt one of the finest craftsman in the world. I only wish I lived nearby you. I’d be in your shop every day watching and trying to learn. You are astounding.
You're the best!
Amazing work as always…ClickSpring would be proud! 👏🤙
Как бывшему токарю всегда приятно смотреть на людей, в совершенстве владеющих своим ремеслом и умеющих что-то делать своими руками
своими станками
У меня несколько станков с числовым программным управлением, японских, и я тоже, чо ни - будь, в чо ни - будь превращаю.
Loved it! Absolutely one of the best little tools I've seen in years. Everything about this video was as precise as this little wrench you created. Am sitting here thinking about watching video for a third time. Congratulations are definitely in order. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So good to see what can be done when you have the skill, the patience and the tools available.
Great job.
Omggg I’m so late to this celebration but WOW! You read my mind! I said ya okay this piece of work is nothing short of outstanding… but does it work is the question here?! Then he used it & I swear my mind felt a jolt ⚡️ in total amazement 🫢 I have been sick for a while now & finally being able to watch your videos again really made my absence tolerable! I’m so excited to see what else you’ve done! Thank you kind Sir for sharing your talents, gifts or whatever you want to call it but you’re a gifted soul that just made my day brighter! ♥️🇨🇦 10:04
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :-)
Wonderful work as usual - your attention to detail is second to none. I always find your videos so relaxing - thank you My Mechanic
My pleasure!
Utterly brilliant work! Nobody has your level of mastery with machining, doing something so precise on such a tiny scale is astounding.
You'd love clickspring TH-cam chanel
I'm sorry, but this has to be one of the cutest things I've seen on TH-cam. I kept thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me, especially during the filing, that you're working on a tiny piece, and not that you have the hands of a giant 🤣
Superb work, MM, as ever 👌 Thank you for doing what you do x
All I need to say, is that this person is a master ! Loved the video and the work he made and showed !
My first two summers of college I worked for the CB&Q RR as a machinist apprentice. There was a master machinist nicknamed “the watch maker”. Ralph was the most senior machinist. He did all the very, very fine work in brass,stainless steel, monel to repair all the gauges and delicate measuring tools. I was allowed to spend part of my day watching, learning, asking questions. His machines all had jewelers magnifying lamps. He even wore a jewelers loop at times.
4:59 I was nervous for the little square tower of steel next to that massive end mill 😁. Fantastic work as always!
I was taking just very very light cuts of 0.5mm. It worked out quite well in the end. Was able to get it all done in one operation, took a while though...
Was a rather mesmerising 10 minutes or so viewing….your close up camera work is as good as your miniature metal work…thank you for sharing your considerable talents!
Hii sir
You work hard and respect your followers I am very grateful for your work I wanted to be like you you is a exseple for others
This is so great. Love the format of the video. Not too long, no boring commentary, just able to appreciate the sounds of the craft. You've earned a new subscriber
Thank you very much!
I almost skipped this video because I didn't think it sounded very interesting compared to other projects. But It was both interesting and impressive, great job!
Amazing work! Great videography for sure, but the level of quality and precision you demonstrate on each project is unsurpassed. Thank you for sharing.
Seriously?! God has blessed you with an unbelievable gift, and incredible takent for working with your hands and tools!! I'm sure you've spent countless hours studying, and working with them. And just as any artist knows how to use each brush, and how to use it to the desired effect, there's definitely an art to sighting down something that small, and being able to judge what is straight, flat, and level, curves angles, etc! Not to mention that my hands started to shake just watching!!! Indeed super impressive. It's not just the tiny wrench (which is really super cool in and of itself! ) but once again the Mad Skills the Lord has blessed you with! Thank you for sharing them with us!! I love watching people who are really good at what they do!! And you are definitely that!!
What a great little piece of art! Not only looking fantastic, but also usable!
Thank you! Cheers!
When he’s not restoring, he makes some of the coolest gadgets out of every day parts!
That's just about the most adorable wrench I've ever seen. That was also a huge nut, especially considering how much you cut off of it and still were able to make the whole tool out of it.
It's simply fascinating to see what you can do. Always satisfying to see an expert at work! 😁
Glad you enjoy it!
As ever, a truly outstanding piece of mechanicing. I've been at this game for more than forty years, have three higher degrees and am a professor of engineering at a prestigious public university, but I know nothing compared you, sir. Bravo.
9:45 Amazing shot of my mechanics 👏🏻
Thanks a lot :-)
I don't know how many videos of yours I've watched and it still amazes me every single time! You got so much talent man! Great work!
Thanks a ton!
so amazing. but it also just looks so cute! huge fan of your work, love everything you've ever done. thank you for posting some of my favorite videos.
I love watching you make amazing tools from common objects. It's even more impressive, that the objects are so different from each other. Wow, just wow!
Thank you very much!
Awesome as always. Nothing less then the best restoring channel on youtube...
Wow, thank you!
That is just exquisite dude. The tolorances are on point 👏👏👏
Der Mann ist für mich ein Genie !! Er kann alles, unfassbar....prima Arbeit 😊😊😮😮
The image quality of your work is stunning! This is som high quality entertainment. And its been good since your first video, but you raise the bar with every video. Really there is no other channel like yours. "I make a new one" has become my favourite reference. Thank you. Best wishes!
Vous êtes totalement hors concours car vous êtes la perfection même! 👍👋👋👋
At the end I just started laughing. It was embarrassing good. Ridiculous precision. I could not handle anymore such perfection. And the tool is sooo cute
Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of projects like this but it's undeniable your craftsmanship is amazing again
I'm always really impressed by your wonderful sharp files and amazing technique using them
Glad you like them!
Many years ago I worked in a small machine shop at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. This would be cool as a keychain and to make as gifts for machinists.
That turned out so great! Most excellent. 😀
Thank you very much Árni as always :-)
my anxiety levels hit the roof at 0:16 when the tool almost reached the jaws
Amazing, how you got the parts to fit together so perfectly is beyond me. All I know is I want one.
Hand Tool Rescue sells them in different sizes. I dont know if this guy mass produces or if its a one off.
Respekt, es macht immer Spaß solche Fähigkeiten auf TH-cam anzuschauen
Excellent! Also, congratulations on keeping fairly neat and uninjured hands for modelling the tool. That's despite all the metalworking you do, which is quite an injury-fraught undertaking. 👍
I miss my mechanics! Hope you are well, brother
Truly outstanding. A master craftsman who can produce pretty much anything with the help of his machinery.
Exceptionally good on the lathe 👌
Спасибо вам,за ваши прекрасные и интересные видео!Я на вас давно подписана,почти все видео пересмотрела.По чаще выпускайте видео!)))
Я вообще в шоке, как так можно работать с миниатюрными деталями. Ключ получился шедевр! Спасибо!
Чпу само все делает, за исключением работы напильником
What a remarkable work! Greetings from Brasil. May God bless you, my friend!
Outstanding. That would make a beautiful keyring too.
And yet, too many people would still think charging more than $5 would be outrageous for that handcrafted beauty. Absolutely amazing craftsmanship.
I'd probably pay 50 for that little cutie, BUT it's missing one feature, unfortunately ...
There is no measurement scale on it, in mm preferably 😆 and a little hole in the handle to put it on the car's keychain 😂
Неверояно красиво!
O melhor canal de restauração do TH-cam!!!
