Part 2 — Wrench for Different-Size Nuts

Reading edition

A very handy wrench can be made from a piece of square bar, shaped as shown and fitted with a handle. The joint at A may be halved and riveted or a weld made as desired. The size of the bar and the space between the parts will depend on the size of nuts to be turned.
