Tube wrenches are nifty tools to help us screw and unscrew nuts and bolts in difficult-to-reach places. They have a long handle and a pliable head that grabs onto various shapes and sizes of nuts and bolts. Tube wrenches are available in various sizes, so it’s important to choose the one that’s right for your needs. These are great for repairs on bikes, toys or to assist with some light home repair.
If you need a tube wrench, always ensure that it fits over the nut or bolt as intended before turning the bolt. This reduces slip and gives good hand grip. Be sure when you are turning the wrench to put steady pressure on it so you do not chew up the nut or bolt. If your nut or bolt is really stuck, you can see if a little bit of oil helps to unstick it. And be sure to keep your tube wrench locked away in a safe spot when you’re done, so it’s ready and waiting for your next project.
Tube wrenches AKA crowfoot wrenches, flare nut wrenches. In automotive and plumbing work, they are frequently employed to fasten or remove nuts and bolts in hard-to-reach spots. The unique design of tube wrenches allows them into tight openings that regular wrenches simply won't go. Some tube wrenches also come with a ratcheting option so turning nuts and bolts quickly is simpler. All in all, tube wrenches are an extremely handy tool to have when working on many problems in the home or in the yard.
Now. If you are the creative type (or just want to wrench up your own tube anytime you want, in the privacy of your own shop) you can make your own at home! It’s that simple a force and a file and some elbow grease is all you need. Begin by cutting the tubing to the proper length with a hacksaw. Then, use the file to shape one end of the tubing into a hexagon or a square that will fit various sizes of nuts and bolts. Last, use the file to remove any sharp points and a homemade tube wrench is ready to put into action.
Now that you are familiar with the ins and outs of tube wrenches, let’s see what you’ve learned. Tighten up those tube nuts and you’ll have something to finally show for that long-avoided project. Whether you are repairing a pipe or assembling furniture, your tube wrench will be your trusty buddy. So go ahead and pick up that tube wrench and tackle any DIY job with confidence.
