Often you have to do the work, and at the same time experience various kinds of discomfort - then the tool will be uncomfortable, then there is no necessary screwdriver or key, then there is nothing to clamp the part.
And then savvy is used to make the necessary tools and devices that will be more practical and universal in work.
And one of such home-made tools, which is suitable for a home workshop or garage, is a powerful universal key-clamp with an adjustment function. With it, you can unscrew the bolts and nuts of different diameters. It can also be used as a clamp.
Making an adjustable wrench for a workshop
The master takes two pieces of a profile pipe of different sections: one of them is 25 * 25 mm, and the second is 20 * 20 mm. This difference allows one pipe to move to another. Then, “sponges” of an adjustable spanner are welded to the ends of two sections of the profile. To improve the capture will need to make notches.
To adjust the sponge solution, a M12 bolt with a length of 100 mm is used, which is welded into the end of the smaller profile pipe. For fixing, a second smaller bolt is used, which is screwed into the nut welded to the profile. Then the master cleans the welding spots with a grinder.
At the last stage, a small bar is welded to the fixing bolt to make it easier to turn the bolt itself. For details on how to make a powerful universal key-clamp with an adjustment function with your own hands, see the video on the website.
