l needed a strap wrench today and HF tools is 25 minutes away, so my inner cheapskate shouted make one. So if anyone wants heres a quick how to
Start with any 2” wide piece of steel. Size does not matter in this case.
Put a slot in it ( by any means available) and drill a
13/64 hole in it to clear a 10-32 screw.
next hack a slot in a piece of tubing, pipe or anything for a handle.
I’m not proud of this but it was quick.
Next put piece A into slot B and weld it.
!
Remember that old torque converter belt ya have? Any flat belt will work. Drill a 13/64 hole in it and run it through the 1” slot and use a 10-32 x 1” screw to attach it to the previously drilled 13/64 hole. Done!
Denny its a strap wrench NOT a strapon wrennch!
EDIT: lt has been brought to my attention, that this a imperial/SAE/merican version.
conversion to metric is simple. All ya have to do is replace the belt with one in a metric size
