Re: [ST] 19mm hex head socket - for Rod

["halfast3" <halfast3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Rod,
There's no question that the correct tool is best or that a jammed nut
often won't get the job done.  That's why I suggested tack welding.
It's also not easy to find quality (graded) hardware at a home
improvement store.  You'll probably have better luck at a hardware
supplier.

I'll send you a couple of photos of the tool I made 5 years ago which
shows no signs of failure.
Take care,

> A lot depends on just how tight the axle is.  I tried the jammed nut
method, using a thing called a connector bolt that you can get at Home
Depot or Lowes, and a couple of other field expediency tools but they
weren't strong enough.  The nuts just broke off and the connector bolt
just twisted.  I found a 19mm allen wrench in one of those discount
took places that sells all that "made in China" stuff.  Harbor Freight
may have one.
