I think in that situation, the last thing you're gonna be worried about is making a special wrench for that ONE thing, pretty sure its be easier to just make or find another one. 😂@andrehoussney5703
If anyone thinks I am going to do that to my Craftsman 8" 12", or 16 " adjustable wrenches that I have had more than 40 years, you are mistaken. As stated below, there are plenty of other tools that can do this.
This video is not for an American point of view. In America you can find millions of tools for a decent price, in Third World countries, even sometimes having the money, you won't find the right tool. Please don't break your Craftsman!
And this is just so efficient. Makes me just want to spend about thirty minutes, at least making this tool, instead spending ten seconds to do this job, with channel-locks.
Considering the workshops I've worked in, and those I've visited, I always thought it a good idea to have the hole to hang the tool on a rack. There a plenty of tools out there for this type of job without destroying ones you already paid for. I'm surprised it doesn't now pick up thousands of encrypted television channels for free...
I agree with you,I'm a fully qualified mechanic and would never do that to a good tool.Use adjustable jaw grips I say which would come in handy for other jobs too.
You can buy one of those for about the same price as a 10" crescent wrench. No need to destroy your own. Hey, how about a pair of channel locks? any other adjustable groove jawed wrench?
Or you could get a channel lock or vice grip plier. Or a vice grip with the plumbers chain setup. I got on at a yard sale for $5 and all my adjustable wrenchs are intact.
You know , you still have to have a used chain. I totally agree with the comments about destroying the crescent wrench. Use pliers, channel locks, small pipe wrench , even rope wrapped around it and a small wooden stick.
I did the same thing with an old Crescent wrench years ago. Worked great. Later I went to the store, bought a chain wrench, and turned it into an adjustable Crescent wrench.
I had that exact situation a couple of weeks ago, had I known this I could have spent half an hour wreaking an adjustable wrench, but silly me I spent half a minute to get out my multi groove plier and unscrew the pipe. Also if you have to make drastic alterations to the tool to have it do something it's not designed to do is hardly a hidden secret feature.
No no it is a secret function. Also a handy secret function is to take a normal wood handled mallet and remove the head, whittle the remaining handle for about an hour, and boom secret hidden toothpick. Don't know why more people don't understand multi-functionality.
I thought it was too much trouble too besides channel locks a pipewrench will turn round or damaged nuts or bolts. There is one thing big chain wrenches are usefull for though. Thats stopping crank ballancers or other big round objects like bigger than 6 inch round objects that are very tight but them 19" channel locks are mighty handy for lots of things
@@crabtrap Your Mistaken I'm retired but I bought a chain wrench off of a tool truck in thousand oaks, ca in '98. I don't know what bike tools are you talking about you must have brain damage so I will just ignore you for being to young to know when to shutup. I think this wrench was for twisting pipes up to 10". Around our shop we used tools like this to turn motors over or to lock them when tightening crank nuts or VW gland nuts to 400lbs. As an there were special factory tools that could do the same job but they cost even more and only worked for one application. If you want to really learn about tools instead of just shooting your mouth off get a job at a heavy equipment shop and see what tools the men have. However I would never have messed up that adjustable wrench the was Indian guy did but those guys are different they use cutting torches and arc weld with thongs on.
He sure did. He could have used a pair of pliers. He could have also used a flat piece of metal to make it instead of destroying the wrench. To each their own, I guess.
30 seconds in, and I'm thinking, "I'm gonna regret this." I wasn't wrong. It wasn't a total waste of time, though, since even a bad example serves a purpose.
I immediately went to the comments to see if anyone else was thinking ‘destroy a perfectly good cresent wrench?’ Perhaps this is an ok idea. But finding a bike chain is more effort than going to HD to but the right tool. Buying a bike chain, negates having to look for one, but probably costs around the same as buying the actual tool. Ruining one of the last remaining USA made C wrenches is a terrible idea. Even F’ing up a crappy Chinese one is still more work than it’s worth. But if you have a broken bike and the chain is already trashed, your wrenches are junky HF stuff and you’re needing to get this exact same thing accomplished, this might just be the best plan ever.
I hate when people call it a function of the tool when it's NOT A FUNTION OF THE TOOL but rather a modification of the tool to perform a different task. It's NOT A HIDEN SECRET FEATURE!!!!!!! It's a modification.
Well if in a pinch & no access to said tools (or$) w/parts laying around... The video did show WAY to much grinding (one pass for each grind would suffice, rather than more than a minute, the majority of the video as far as steps, with the least technical area). Otherwise nicely done X) Title is misleading too... (Fool me once)
That pretty cool, I visualize someone in a remote place that's in a bind then comes up with this idea to salve his problem, I like it. thank god for the hidden tool.
The hole is for clipping the wrench to a carabiner by skyscraper and bridge builders. It would retain the wrench to the builder's tool belt and prevent a slip, dropping it on someone below. Kinda put a halt on the work too if you dropped one not secured.
Yes! Don't just reach for a pipe wrench, destroy a valuable tool so that you can do that job for probably the only time ever. And take most of the day doing it.
Nice, destroy a perfect Crescent wrench 🔧, when you could have used lock jointed pliers or a small pipe wrench and also make a rubber belt wrench similar to a chain wrench but belt won't damage plastic (pvc)!
@@jimzimmerman5288 Adjustable wrench, or spanner in British, is just that. A crescent wrench is named for its shape and comes in different sizes. I never heard of it as a brand name.
Well, true...but perhaps someone didn't have access to or money to buy a pipe wrench or adjustable pliers...but then again, if one couldn't get, or couldn't afford those tools, what are the odds they would have an angle grinder to grind on this adjustable wrench with?...
Just open up the spanner, and with a wet piece of rag, put it on the fitting, you may need to fold the rag a few time's and then just adjust the spanner to fit and the wet rag will take up the slack. Oh and the hole at the end of this 10 inch or 12 inch spanner is to tighten any water mains spindle that might have an old washer in it.
You can buy a chain wrench, it will pay for itself compared to the time it took to make this one. Not only is there another tool that works well, pliers, just the plain wrench that you showed in the beginning works well. I know I used it today twice to install caps on pipe ends.
Often times people want to make it themselves and save a buck or two. Kinda Handy to have a chain wrench on the end of a Crescent Wrench. 2 tools in One.
Lots of people can create their own tool. But if Channel Lock, Stanley or whichever company intended for a tool to be used in a certain way, they'd create that when making said tool.
"This video was a real eye-opener! The revelation about this tool's secret was truly unexpected. The way it was explained was clear and concise, leaving no room for confusion.

And all this time i thought they cast a loop on the end so i could hang it up when I was done using it. Turns out they did it so i could grind it off. Learn something new every day.
but you could also hang it from a tool belt so you can forget its there and start running and have it smack you right in the balls....how clever would you feel THEN??
That’s not a secret of that tool. It’s not meant to have that function. Nothing you have to modify is a secret until after it’s been modified and even then it’s only a secret until the modifications reaches social media. That would be like me calling the crescent wrench I grinded down to make an adjustable skinny wrench to fit between the nuts on a bmx hub a secret. Not a secret, just a modification. So, up until this video was posted, the only secret about this whole thing was your idea to modify a crescent wrench to add another function to it. And a great idea it is, imo. However, you can achieve the same, what I call, “vise wrench” with a sturdy 2x2 piece of wood, a back chain and a couple nails or screws. There are many other things that can be used to make one, but the materials I just listed are the bare minimum to get you through a project or two. I made one out of a bolt cutter handle and i can almost unscrew myself when I get myself into an undesirable position that usually comes right after I open my mouth and insert foot. Good job thinking outside the box.
We in the first world take tools for granted. People in the third world have to manipulate their current tools to complete a job. Hes not being wasteful hes being innovative.
Just use a channel lock type tool on that with maybe a piece of rubber to prevent damaging the PVC. About 20 times quicker than destroying an adjustable wrench!!
thats just a wide half-inch chain wrench. try pricing a freewheel or cassette wrench from a specialty tool maker- youre in for tool-sticker-shock. see my comment above.
@@flyingsodwai1382 Sorry, I meant $3. I'm in the PH and online the price goes from 1.5 bucks for a crappy one to around 2.5 bucks for one that lasts., which is what I've got for removing my 3 well filters. Still going strong after 2 years. Ok cheap crap, but it works on the few occasions I need it to, and it hasn't rusted away because I lightly oil it and hang it in my pump house.
It's a great idea if you're lost in the middle of the woods and you don't have access to a chain wrench, a strap wrench, a pipe wrench, channel locks, vice grips, a basin wrench, a pair of pliers, or even your brother-in-law's large, beefy hands.
Last time I was lost in the middle of the woods, I can't count the number of times I had to unscrew plastic pipe connections, but just didn't have the right tool. I barely made it home alive! (If I'd had my brother-in-law's large, beefy hands, I woulda' cooked them and eaten them!)
Might as well take an adjustable wrench and open it to just the right size for a particular nut you want to tighten or loosen and weld it shut just there. No need for pesky exact sized wrenches when you can just modify an adjustable wrench to the perfect fit.
I could never understand why one would break a perfectly good tool to make an inferior one. This easily could have been made with steel stock and the chain
I've got the very chain wrench he's made for removing oil filters on my car, now every time he uses that wrench as a wrench he will have watch he doesn't cut himself.
o yea thats a great idea ,to use the end of the wrench that was designed with the strength to hold is own weight on a hook, for leverage . In case you dont know a real chain wrench has a jaw like a pipe wrench to do the actual gripping , the chain is just used to keep the work piece in contact with that jaw.
I wonder if Sanan ever changed the oil filter in his car? If he did, he'd know that such tools already exist. And you don't have to ruin a good drill bit to make something that you'd use two or three times tops.
I had a 12” crescent wrench that I cut into a a set of 8 small open end wrenches and it only took 38 days. Doing that was about as good an idea as this video was.
@@tommurphy4307 WAIT A MINUTE! Barbie is a liberated woman... she might want to tinker around too.... He needs to make a second set for her, because Ken never cleans or puts his tools away neatly... just leaves them around the shop and can never find the one he needs. 😂
The other hidden secret of this tool is that if you cut 23 slots in the handle it works as a comb! Secret #3: Grind the edge of the handle so it works as a knife.
14-12 I cannot believe he cut part of the adjustable Spanner off, surely he has made it unsafe, there are Tools you can buy to have done that or even a pipe Wrench 😢
Also, improper use of the side of a cutoff wheel for grinding. Cutoff discs are for cutting only, they're thin and can shatter sending shrapnel of shattered cutoff disc's everywhere... Getting a chunk of a cutoff disc embedded in your face isn't very fun...
good point- you can get an angle-grinder and arbor thats made for side-grinding rather than cutting. cheap, lazy guys like to just buy the thick cut-off wheels for that.
"Not many people know that the secret to this tool is that if you buy two power tools to ruin it, you don't have to spend a small fraction of the same money to just go get a cheap strap wrench."
Guys, remember, these people usually wear sandals to their unregulated, highly dangerous, shoddy construction projects. They don't have a lot to begin with, so this is revolutionary to them.
That's a lot of work for such a simple task. Besides, what if I don't have a chain, an angle grinder and a drill? Guess the wrench alone will do the job, if/when used properly!?👻❤
When i first saw the video i thought it was going to be about a secret use for that hole that i never knew of,if you notice that hole has a casting line on it around its circumference,i figured if you found a pipe just the right size that casting flash would grip it,lol, what a imagination i have but i guess it better than destroying tools,🤣
Tools are a vital investment for me. Good tools are not inexpensive. I would rather just purchased the correct tool for the job and it will last me the rest of my life, be passed on to my family when I leave.
Just like a air of chain vise grips or a simple strap wrench. Then again, a pipe wrench also works quite well too! All of these alternatives are better than maiming an adjustable to add a chain that gets in the way when using the wrench the proper way!
So I’m supposed to destroy a perfectly good crescent hammer to make a tool that I can go to NAPA, TrakAuto, etc and buy a chain oil filter wrench. Or a pair of channel locks. I don’t think so.

You steal that off someone's bicycle. From the condition of the wrench, it was probably stolen, too.

When everyone at the job sight say
" Wow! Thats cool"
(Laughing at you while you walk away)
We in the first world take tools for granted. People in the third world have to manipulate their current tools to complete a job. Hes not being wasteful hes being innovative.
I got to agree with that one
Don't miss part two where we go out and buy a longer crescent wrench so we can hold it where we used to be able to hold this one for leverage.
So in other words....buy a chain wrench.
Just use a channel lock type tool on that with maybe a piece of rubber to prevent damaging the PVC. About 20 times quicker than destroying an adjustable wrench!!
I can't believe I just sat through that! You can get a perfectly good chain wrench for under $5 at a hardware store.
thats just a wide half-inch chain wrench. try pricing a freewheel or cassette wrench from a specialty tool maker- youre in for tool-sticker-shock. see my comment above.
5 bucks? What century are YOU from?
Exactamente @tyrotrainer765 ¡hay llaves de cadena! 👍
@@flyingsodwai1382 Sorry, I meant $3. I'm in the PH and online the price goes from 1.5 bucks for a crappy one to around 2.5 bucks for one that lasts., which is what I've got for removing my 3 well filters. Still going strong after 2 years. Ok cheap crap, but it works on the few occasions I need it to, and it hasn't rusted away because I lightly oil it and hang it in my pump house.
It's a great idea if you're lost in the middle of the woods and you don't have access to a chain wrench, a strap wrench, a pipe wrench, channel locks, vice grips, a basin wrench, a pair of pliers, or even your brother-in-law's large, beefy hands.
Last time I was lost in the middle of the woods, I can't count the number of times I had to unscrew plastic pipe connections, but just didn't have the right tool. I barely made it home alive! (If I'd had my brother-in-law's large, beefy hands, I woulda' cooked them and eaten them!)
What a total waste of a perfectly good wrench... Obviously he doesn't care for his tools like most people do.
Might as well take an adjustable wrench and open it to just the right size for a particular nut you want to tighten or loosen and weld it shut just there.
No need for pesky exact sized wrenches when you can just modify an adjustable wrench to the perfect fit.
Ditto😮
I could never understand why one would break a perfectly good tool to make an inferior one. This easily could have been made with steel stock and the chain
or buy a chain wrench
Elefanten oder Russen 👳♂️wissen es nicht besser!🧻🙉😇
I've got the very chain wrench he's made for removing oil filters on my car, now every time he uses that wrench as a wrench he will have watch he doesn't cut himself.
But then you would never learn "the secret".
I always thought that hole was to hang the tool on. Just shows you learn something new every day.
"I always thought that hole was to hang the tool on" ...That's what she said.
o yea thats a great idea ,to use the end of the wrench that was designed with the strength to hold is own weight on a hook, for leverage .
In case you dont know a real chain wrench has a jaw like a pipe wrench to do the actual gripping , the chain is just used to keep the work piece in contact with that jaw.
i can think of 5 tools i have handy that i would use before i cut up a perfectly good adjustable wrench.
I wonder if Sanan ever changed the oil filter in his car? If he did, he'd know that such tools already exist. And you don't have to ruin a good drill bit to make something that you'd use two or three times tops.
Crazy man. And when you are done loosening the plastic pipe, you can weld the wrench back together. lol
I would hate to use the wrench with that chain flopping around on the end.
you could make it a quick-release chain with a cap screw and knurled nut.
I guess he didn't have any other option! Watching stuff like this destroys brain cells.
he IS pretty handy with that angle grinder- no welder/fabber would be caught dead without one.
Really, this is the secret we have been waiting for
Зачем ключ ломать, можно было к любой железке цепь приделать.
Вот именно, а сделал по сути газовый ключ ( клещи ) - велосипед изобрёл
Wonder how many PPL used Google Translate to see what the Russian had to say ?😁
I told my kids that these tools you’re using are your tools. Mine are hiding under the work bench. Better take more care with your tools 😊.
I wanted to do this, but I'd have to buy an angle grinder and a drill press to do it. That would cost lots more than just buying that specific tool.
Not to mention the bike you need to get the chain off of
A lot of people don't know the secret of this tool, then proceeds to destroy a wrench! He's the TOOL lol!😉👍
Are you kidding me?! 1 minute in and I knew I had been had. JFC.
I had a 12” crescent wrench that I cut into a a set of 8 small open end wrenches and it only took 38 days. Doing that was about as good an idea as this video was.
call mattel and barbie- you just invented a set of tiny wrenches for ken
😂😂
@@tommurphy4307 WAIT A MINUTE! Barbie is a liberated woman... she might want to tinker around too.... He needs to make a second set for her, because Ken never cleans or puts his tools away neatly... just leaves them around the shop and can never find the one he needs. 😂
Damn I guess I'll just throw my Channel Locks away now! lol
Dumbest thing I have seen anyone do in a while.
So they make a belt wrench that will spin that. You could also you a PIPE WRENCH and that's a pretty common plumbers tool.
any wimp with money could do that- youre NO FUN
@@tommurphy4307 you assume a lot.
The other hidden secret of this tool is that if you cut 23 slots in the handle it works as a comb! Secret #3: Grind the edge of the handle so it works as a knife.
That's not a hidden secret, that's you are mutilating a perfectly fine tool.
Cutting into a wrench with an angle grinding under isn't a hidden feature, it's a major modification
Up there in top ten bad ideas of all time.
14-12
I cannot believe he cut part of the adjustable Spanner off, surely he has made it unsafe, there are Tools you can buy to have done that or even a pipe Wrench 😢
Reinforces the never loan your tools rule...
That’s no secret…. Cheaper and easier to just go buy the tool!!
Also, improper use of the side of a cutoff wheel for grinding. Cutoff discs are for cutting only, they're thin and can shatter sending shrapnel of shattered cutoff disc's everywhere... Getting a chunk of a cutoff disc embedded in your face isn't very fun...
He forgot to show how he turned the grinding disc to a cut off disc so in reality it still is.
HOWEVER.............IT WOULD MODIFY YOUR FACE
possibly in the same way the wrench was modified
@@martinkuliza
😅😂👺😞
good point- you can get an angle-grinder and arbor thats made for side-grinding rather than cutting. cheap, lazy guys like to just buy the thick cut-off wheels for that.
..or the neighbor's face across the street if it fails at full speed@@martinkuliza
Для этого не обязательно было портить разводной ключ.
Ума ноль, что поделаешь?
Amazing, it looked like it was hand tight
Why in the world would you do that to an adjustable wrench? They make chain wrenches that you can usually buy cheap.
"Not many people know that the secret to this tool is that if you buy two power tools to ruin it, you don't have to spend a small fraction of the same money to just go get a cheap strap wrench."
Guys, remember, these people usually wear sandals to their unregulated, highly dangerous, shoddy construction projects. They don't have a lot to begin with, so this is revolutionary to them.
Absolutely, this "sand pit engineering", it's revolutionary to them.
I have to agree with th it's like you said some people ain't got jack s***
The hole at the end of the adjustable wrench is for popping open beer bottles at the end of the work day.
Not any more!
at the end, you don't even need the wrench anymore, just the chains will do the job 😂
That's a lot of work for such a simple task. Besides, what if I don't have a chain, an angle grinder and a drill? Guess the wrench alone will do the job, if/when used properly!?👻❤
Yes. Another retarded "look at what this can do if I modify it enough" video.
then youre almost a toolmaker- almost.....
This could be the secret of any piece of metal that already has a hole in it 😂
That's no "secret. " You just destroyed a perfectly good tool because you didn't have the correct one.
What was just done on this video is criminal. He’s going to need that ring, and that complete wrench!
call the harbor freight police!
When i first saw the video i thought it was going to be about a secret use for that hole that i never knew of,if you notice that hole has a casting line on it around its circumference,i figured if you found a pipe just the right size that casting flash would grip it,lol, what a imagination i have but i guess it better than destroying tools,🤣
Tools are a vital investment for me. Good tools are not inexpensive. I would rather just purchased the correct tool for the job and it will last me the rest of my life, be passed on to my family when I leave.
Or … you can buy a bigger wrench. SMH
Just like a air of chain vise grips or a simple strap wrench. Then again, a pipe wrench also works quite well too!
All of these alternatives are better than maiming an adjustable to add a chain that gets in the way when using the wrench the proper way!
Плять,мы ждем секрет ЭТОГО инструмента,а не как его испортить...
So I’m supposed to destroy a perfectly good crescent hammer to make a tool that I can go to NAPA, TrakAuto, etc and buy a chain oil filter wrench. Or a pair of channel locks. I don’t think so.
