    There once was a man from Saskatchewan
    For crusty tools he did lust upon
    He found just the thing, a wrench fit for a king
    And indeed, in it's name it did say soFor the thrill of the peanut gallery
    He sent his fine tool to AvE
    With less than a moment of awe
    It was straight in the torque'matic's jawsBut upon such a rigorous test
    And against the worthy Wright's wrench
    The old wrench fought well, but in battle it fell
    And blew it's one nut prematurely

  • @halnywiatr
    @halnywiatr 5 ปีที่แล้ว +488

    Important Technique Information: A forgotten trick (unless you were taught by a grandfather who used these a hundred years ago) for increasing the strength of the wrench: Place a nut of the same size as the one you are removing into the "opposite-side-jaw", that will transfer much of the force directly to the frame and not through the threaded post. That back overhang is there for important reasons, including right angle turning.

      TheRazzeus There is a ledge on the back end of the wrench that can accept nuts as well he is saying place a nut there of the same size as the nut you are clamping down on and it will decrease side load on the frame basically not allowing it to spring open as easily

    I would love to have it. My dad is retired Ford Tractor/Agricultural Mechanic witch I learned the trade just as he did. When I was out of High School there was no calling for Ag Mech. I side tracked and went Automotive. He would just love it. It has a lot of resemblance to the old ford tools in the tool boxes on some of the 1950-1960 era tractors. Love your channel.

  • @bur1t0
    @bur1t0 5 ปีที่แล้ว +257

    Actually kind of clever the way that one failed. By selecting a material for the nut to be a metal softer than the thread, the tool can fail and the only cost in repairing it is another nut, and a few minutes filing the metal out of the threads.
    Also not really worth welding one of those tools back together, they're drop forged, so it'll never be that strong again.

    • @arghjayem
      @arghjayem 5 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      bur1t0 agreed. It’s designed to fail at a certain point and be easily mended after. Yes the other tool failed at a higher point but it also destroyed the tool to the point where welding it back together is both a higher skill task and kinda pointless because you’re rejoining the weakest part of the tool with a weaker joint. Realistically how often is a tool gonna be under that much strain anyways? Much better to have to replace a nut and refile, than weld a tool back together.

    • @thomasalanjensen9375
      @thomasalanjensen9375 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thats what I was thinking. Want to buy another and test it oriented the other way? The outside corner of the square test chunk was bearing against the tip of the moveable jaw and the base of the fixed. The top jaw then acts like a lever increasing the strain on the nut.

    Back in the day, those were referred to as a "monkey wrench", not a spanner wrench. I have a vintage one that belonged to my great grandpa. My grandma has told me that she remembers him using it to repair things. I think it is dated 1890 or close. They were designed to hang onto a square nut or bolt head. Hex wasn't even a twinkle in their eye back then. I think Jody at "Welding Tips and Tricks" can weld water to water.

      Yea ive wonderd why we use hex nuts instead of square. It seems like the less amount of sides you have the less likely it would be to strip.

    • @Aubreykun
      @Aubreykun 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      You're "supposed" to use a full box end of the appropriate size which puts even amounts of pressure on all 6 sides/corners of a hex head, and allows for more angles of engagement.
      Square nuts have advantages that don't necessarily come up often, like being able to put a square nut in a slot so it doesn't turn but is replaceable if the thing strips or wears out, and keeping more of the meat of the flats of an adjustable or open ended wrench on for better leverage. As well they are easier to manufacture.

    • @apollorobb
      @apollorobb 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think the biggest reason we don't use the square nuts anymore is machine automation. Square nuts don't have as many flats and therefore are harder to line up in automated machines. For the HAND JOB they would work fine

      @iaincorbett2420 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I've heard also it's hex over square because you need to turn a hex less to expose new flats than a square head. I think 35 vs 90 degrees

    You've got me curious now. I'm going to figure out the clamping pressure of those vise-grip style clamps :D
    EDIT: I tried two different clamps. One with a 3.25" throat and the other with a 10" throat. The max clamping force I could get (while squeezing it shut with my hand) was:
    3.25" Throat: 619.2lbf
    10" Throat: 173.3lbf
    SSSSCIENCE!!!

    Surely replacing the nut, should you manage to break it without massive abuse, be a piece of piss compared to replacing the clampy bit?
    That seems like good design, making the easiest bit to replace the weakest.

    Many years on now from buying my own first one and you would not think it has been used as a hammer, bludgeon, impromptu vice for hammering, I use it when I need something to hold a watch case steady and is still my "go to" wrench. Dunno what Eric did to the steel but its just impervious to anything I can throw at it, best tool investment for years and no joke I have written it in my will that it goes with me to the next world when I croak. Right now its sitting here holding a massive Zlatoust Soviet deep sea diver watch case as I drill in two 1mm holes, super all rounder and kudos to Eric for taking a British icon and making it way better :D Now my big one I used to wrench off a lathe chuck from my 1930's Portass lathe, chuck hasn't been off in 90 years or more, locked the shaft, engaged the girder wrench on the chuck jaws and bit o' rizz and off it come.

    There is a video.. lol I think it did more than it was ever intended to do though! Not bad for and old style wrench that was intended for square nuts. And look at it this way, the tool didn’t fail, the thumb screw did. You could remake that in no time and be back in business.

    • @IanCaine4728
      @IanCaine4728 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's what I was thinking too. Control the failure mode with the nut threads. I know it was lower energy at breaking, but also prevents catastrophic failure with shrapnel flying everywhere. Oh, sell it for $40 and the nuts for $10. Don't sell the printer, sell the toner....

    Would an ACME thread be stronger? I'm curious what thread the original wrench had. I'm gonna go buy one from HTR anyway. At the very least it will be useful for removing unwanted knuckle skin.

    • @CrackpotCreations
      @CrackpotCreations 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have a couple old ones which use ACME or similar threads, mine also appear to be cast steel as they have a bead running around the perimeter of the tool.
      Not used them to anywhere near their strength limit, in theory, it should be a stronger design. The main advantage is that ACME has a very aggressive thread pitch so the wrench is quick to adjust.
      I rarely use them on fasteners, where they shine is bending steel while welding.
