Socket on a stick

Also for the Stainless Steel compression fittings by Swagelock, which suggests a higher torque than you are apparently expecting.

But I have one picked up at a tool flea market. A pity that it only covers two sizes.

That is correct -- with levers guiding their path so they don't get lost.

Enjoy, DoN.

The O2 sensor wrench is basically a socket with a slot up the side for the wires . And I made my SPROCKET nut wrench for the Harley too , same way you did - and it also fits Shovelhead and TC sprocket/pulley nuts . And I really wish I had a set of tubing fitting wrenchs ...

Ooh, thanks for the idea Steve! I might just have to consider this!

A- HA! I knew there had to be a "proper" tool to solve this problem, but I came up with my solution before I had a chance to post the question over at terrylove's forum.

Besides, I'm a sucker for any excuse to do some welding.

Aye, it had to attach the lines up in a four inch deep recess underneath a wall hanging sink:

Hey thanks Leo, I appreciate that.

I wasn't aware of such a tool at the time I made mine, which led to me making it myself. It was pretty tight up in there, but if all I had was a basin wrench I imagine I'd have found a way to get it to work.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sometimes doing things the way you know beats doing the research and finding a "better" way.

I think we do that because we can! I've made DIN plug shell to fix my son's music machine...

Would have gone to a repair guy or part from Germany - wasn't a US standard DIN, it was a little fancy.

Someone had stepped on the original one.

I have a set of crowfoot ratcheting tubing wrenchs for many years. I don't remember the manufacturer but they were of high quality and took a lot of torque. Another way around the problem of reaching a buried fitting is to get a regular tubing wrench and bend it to the proper angle to reach the nut. I have a bunch of these special application tools that I made. The ones that I use most today are the long extention allen wrenches, longer than the ones you can buy and more side clearance than a socket set of allen wrenches.

An older buddy has let me use his back garage for the last few months. As I've weatherproofed and generally, cleaned it up, I found five of those flippin' wrenches. Sheez

Local dialect (somewhere) for "youth". :-)

Enjoy, DoN.

Yes, since 1992.
