You could buy a stick of this stuff and chop it into four or five bikes wort=
h of tools. Cut it with an abrasive cut off saw, and touch it up on a grinde=
r. At 19.050 nominal width across the flats, it will probably fit your 19mm=
 socket better than the 2 nuts welded together. It will weigh like two ounce=
s more, but it will NOT break.
 And no, I don't work for these guys. I just spend thirty or forty thousand=
 dollars a year there.

Better to weld two nuts together and use a wrench .  A good welder can 
weld these from the inside.  I used a flat washer  between the nuts to 
give me a better weld.  Takes up very little space too.
