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.

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