Custom Tool Fabrication! Needed a Metric Crowfoot Flare Wrench so I Made One

  • A little metal fabrication for you today--I needed a tool I didn't have and couldn't quickly grab at the store. So I turned to my metal fabrication capabilities and created what I needed. It worked out well!
    I cut down a cheap metric box wrench, made it a "flare wrench" by cutting a notch out of it. Then I weld it to a socket so I can drive it with a ratchet and extension to attempt to remove an EGT sensor on my exhaust manifold. I did not successfully remove the sensor with the tool but it was absolutely necessary for installation!
    I hope you find this helpful or at least interesting. We can truly do anything we set our minds to with the right resources at our disposal!

    why you did not film the removal? you used your go pro to fil the welder machine spool turning in which it also consider a tight space! could use the same camera to fill the tight space to see how well or not the tool performed!

      Sometimes you just run out of steam. Will do better in the future. Thanks for watching!

    I briefly thought “we should be filming this” when we were tag teaming that pos sensor. 🤦‍♂️ if only I’d known you had started it and I was just there distracting you from finishing. 😂

      Nah I knew filming the actual work of removing/installing the sensor would be impossible either way

      But thanks again for your help!

    I do need a set of closed end 12 point crows foots, tired of the open end slipping on stuck exhaust bolts
