nothing like a good wrench...

Postby rSin » Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:38 pm


and i discovered something about an outdated model just the other day...
was involved replacing an old set of shower valves... so of course a new drop to the tub diverter...
the iron pipe nipple behind the diverter was badly corroded, anyway...

there were several workers doing plumbing that day,
so assuming this one nipples extraction would be light work
i just grabbed the old pipe wrench id seen in the shop,
rather than go get a modern tool from one of the other guys projects...

the nipple put up a good struggle,
and the wrench crushed it a good deal were it grabbed...
i suddenly had great appreciate for this old style wrench because
when the nipple finally turned, the wrench in the setting that had pinched it down,
was still able to grab onto its widest flair, where you had to in order to proceeding in removing it...

my modern design wrench would have need back and forth adjustment...
ive watched plumbers use two wrenches just to avoid the hassle...

i took a pic,
will post it later...
the intolerance of the old order is emerging from the rosy mist in which it has hitherto been obscured.

well my pic didnt turn out so well,
i though the collapse of that nipple was going to be visible...
and i should have had the wrenches head closest to the camera...

never the less... there is the wrench and the nipple

the guy im working for, tells me this was one of his grandfathers tools...

What's the design difference between that Companion and this newer Companion?

there is more slop in the action,
letting the jaw move to a greater degree of angle away from the fixed teeth...

the other difference is the handle... much smaller cross section on the old one...
it digs into your hands more than a newer one...

were it my only wrench, id wrap that with alot of tape...

i bought a sawzall and im cuting trees like crazy held back by weather.

cutting loscut trees along my property lines

I messed up and was taking pictures of my tomatoe plants growing in straw bales .. experiment. and left my camera in the rain. So I can't take an exact representation but this bitch.. is mine except its red.

cough.. cough.. Walter Brennan shows up in unasked for cameo

" no brag just fact."

Ok Walter Brennan never endorsed this theread being hes dead and unable to. and never asked for a cameo.

audience sighs someone in back yells "Fuck up!"
