Here you go Joe, some tools you may need for that steel boat. A
little pricey though.

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.

Bummer.
I've bought a fair amount of stuff at auction too. But I
don't see how to put a box end wrench on a packing gland...
a big tubing wrench, maybe.

Cool huh? Maybe I can get prices like that for mine, except
I really want to hang on to them.

I use a big water pump wrench.

That should read ''water pump pliers''

Whoops. Should have been "open end" . They were actually combination
and I cut the box end off. Funny looking,big wrenches with short
handles.

Those are the best kind.

Many people would be amazed at how many of those 36" pipe
wrenches have the handle sawed off. Much more practical, and
if you need more leverage you can always use a cheater...
heck that's what I mostly use box ends for...
