<VV> The problem with wire feeds

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

This turbo wrench thing demonstrates one of the problems of this era of 
wire feed welders -- no "hot wrench" to help heat and form those custom 
tools one finds that they periodically need.   With the oxy-acetylene, 
you'd just heat it up and bend the excess handle out of the way -- I 
have a drawer full of that stuff, most of which I can't remember what it 
used to fit ...  Moral: use your tool ID engraver to write the name of  
it's use on the tool. 

never pass up $2 yard sale wrenches, so that you have some to cut up, 
reform, bend, and whatever, without having to sacrifice one out of your 
"set".  I just had to make a 2" stubby out of an offset 1 1/8 that I had 
just picked up at Goodwill to tighten up an oil leak on a buddies newly 
installed wrecking yard motor.
