Here you go Joe, some tools you may need for that steel

RedCloud uses deisel, therefore nonferrious stricking
wrenches are not
needed to inspect my tanks.
However if I were striking bolts loose on a gasoline
barge 3K plus per
wrench would seem affordable and a bargain .


I'll stick to Proto, Craftsman, and Mac tools.

Hating those adjustable spanners that are used to adjust
shaft packing
glands, I bought a couple of big box wrenches for almost
nothing at a
plant closing auction, cut the handles off and I had the
nicest set of
packing gland adjusters in the harbor. They were not non
ferrous
striking wrenches but they probably had a new cost of
several hundred
bucks apiece. When I sold the boat, I meant to get them
off, and
forgot.


I had some of those striking wrenches, size 2'' - 5''. I
gave them to my buddy who works on steam engines. I had no
idea they were that expensive.
