Pipe wrenches are great for plumbing, but they are also great tools for getting stuff un-stuck. I have several of them, up to 36″ in length. I have two of the 3′ ones, btw. They have a neat clamping mechanism that makes it easy to remove them from a nut or pipe and reset the wrench to take another pull. Who invented this thing? A man named Stillson, according to Wikipedia.
In Rhodesia its called a bobbiejohn spanner. neat.
That being said, we used them to replace the valve on one of our steam radiators. These valves can be frozen, as they are exposed to wet hot water – steam – and tend to rust solid. So the pipe wrench comes in handy. This is why you should buy one or more as gifts for your loved ones and friends, I think.
A big thank you to our Patreon supporters, because of you, we were able to buy the new Adobe software suite, which will make editing easier. I’m now learning the new software. Thanks for youtube videos on that!
Got some good feedback on the visual changes to the show, last week and this week were fun to shoot and edit, thanks for all the comments.
