Questions & Answers

This tool might be able to free a frozen aluminum bicycle seat tube from a steel frame, right?

It is possible. Due to the softness of aluminum, it has probably baked into the steel by corrosion, so the two metals have fused together. I wonder if you could use something like liquid wrench to reverse the corrosion? It would probably crush the aluminum during use.

Can you tell me where this tool is ?

As far as I'm concerned, it is a good quality tool in the USA. This product works well for me and holds up well over time

What is the maximum diameter of this system? Can I use it to open a tank 7 inches in diameter?

Chain extension of at least 4 inches is needed if you want to use it with 7" diameter objects, since the chain comes with only 18 inches. You can find the circumference of a circle by multiplying the diameter by three.

Does it have a limit for how narrow it can be? The two kids I have are 2 and 3 There is a foot long drill bit stuck to the floor against a wall (at the Is this able to wrap around such a thing?

If you want to solve your problem, a chain on the Vise Grip would help. If you want to use it more easily, grab the drill shank with the conventional Vise Grip, and move it around.

Ensure you have these tools at your disposal! are among the tools you should have During that timeframe
5/5

It is reasonable to purchase two pairs so that you can use them The truth is, you will wonder how you ever lived without a Vise Chain Wrench once you have one. Among my favorite tools, these are far and away my favorite. A set of my new shoes was just purchased since the last pair I brought during a trip to a distant international laboratory was crushed by the checked luggage. After my wrenches were bent beyond repair, it seemed like I was 10,000 miles away from any hope of replacing them. There was a serious problem that had to be dealt with, and I had to make do with substandard quality For a few months, we will work on par arrangements. Now that the situation has been resolved and I've learned a good lesson, I'm glad I anticipated it. You should pack them in a box which won't crush or just take the carryon with you when traveling.

The tool is very useful
5/5

Ideal for changing pipes or removing oil filters that have become stuck. I found this tool to be very helpful. A strap wrench does not offer this type of grip, and indeed, this tool is much better than a strap wrench. Even so, it is not nearly as delicate as a strap wrench. Most of the time I use this to clean oil or fuel filters, but it has so many other Extension chains are also available for this tool from Vise grip.

I needed just what you said
5/5

A motorcycle oil filter that had become stuck on was as good as being welded onto the machine. I attempted two different oil filter wrenches and a strap wrench, but the plug would not come out. Using this little device, I not only got it off the table within the limited space I had to work in, but it crushes it like It's a bit pricey for a once a year tool, but it will likely be the last filter wrench I need to purchase.

Do not buy the cheaper ones, instead, buy these
5/5

A bunch of plumbing and irrigation projects were done with them. I was pleased with their performance. Most people forget to use the right tools for the job and try to cut corners. I buy the right tools for the job and don't waste my time on unethical practices. As usual, Irwin is a quality brand. I would pay the extra five dollars whenever that is possible A $10 purchase of their products is always a bargain.

The price is well worth it if you need This product is of high quality and very Their grip is similar to how a vise grip works, but they don't deform the object and they leave nearly undetectable

However, I have a problem with that
4/5

In my 1999 Ford F350, I used it when installing a new fan by wrapping the pulley around it. It worked well. I found that once I figured out how to attach the chain to the wrench, it is kinda awkward somehow, those or I am just a pumpkin headed dum dum, but it was frustrating getting it to work in a tight place.

This is a tool every mechanic should have
5/5

I really appreciate having this tool at my disposal. A low-cost tool that is easy to use and adjust. I bought it to remove the crankshaft pulley from a car whose timing belt needed to be replaced. What I don't understand is why I didn't purchase one of these years ago I would have been able to save so much time if I had known it then!.

An asset that is solid, reliable, and The product is significantly more robust, and it comes at a lower price than alternative approaches that serve the same function
4/5

As I change the water filters in my home frequently, I need and use chain wrenches on a regular basis. This one certainly fills a niche with great results.
