Aerotech Aft Closure Wrench

Steve and Don are good guys and I believe they had 2-3 in stock when I was down there a month ago.

I do have to wonder about the use of a wrench with these things--if they require a wrench to remove, there's something wrong!

Granted, the consumer 24mm and 29mm casings aren't as nice to put on and off because of the slots, but I'd be nervous about buggered up those 32tpi threads using a wrench.

Rather than a metal wrench, I made one out of a 1/2" PVC pipe "T". I'm prety sure this idea came from RMR many years ago. Cut off enough of the base end with the band saw to leave 2 properly sized fingers to fit the slots. Same one works on the 24mm and 29mm closures. PVC "T" cost me $0.15 each, and perhaps 10 seconds onthe band saw. In fact it took longer to FIND my 29mm casing than to mark the PVC and make the cuts.

Craftsman strap wrench.

You can use on your ketchup, too.

You said "strap". Snicker snicker!
