this for wingnuts

All the other tools usually don't get used, but I still have them.
I'm more a fan of the
Wing Nut Wrenches I make out of 4
point T-Handle wrenches. Believe this is the McMaster part number.

All it takes is a wrench, a bench vise and a worm drive saw with abrasive steel cutting blade. Cut a 3/16" x 3/4" deep slot across corners and you have a
cheeseborough wrench.
I'm also a big fan of speed wrenches (ratcheting box wrenches) - it's already 12
point in the 5/8" doing 1/2" square screws, and 3/4" for the 1/2"
bolt. The lightspeed wrenches are cool, wasn't there however one of the ratcheting box wrenches with a F/U square hole cut in it at one
point also? None the less, I don't have to worry about this screw much these days. Our fixtures have a hard fiber washer between the
yoke and
C-Clamp which allows normal tension on the
bolt attaching the clamp to the
yoke, but due to the nature of the fiber washer, not so much pressure that you can't swivel the
yoke without the
bolt loosening. It's a concept where you don't have to use the F/U
bolt at all, or loosen the 1/2"
bolt to swivel the
fixture. Not a cheap solution but cost effective. Due to this, the standard Craftsman
speed wrench is fine for me if I'm doing a lot of fixtures.
Othewise for normal work and what I always have, my black oxide insulated handle Klien 8"
c-wrench has never failed me. I like a insulated handle - ...just in case something is shorted and it's more comfortable to use.
I don't allow "Clinches" and or any form of
channel lock at work. That's nice.. take it home and don't bring it back. Never liked how the teeth on the jaws tended to dig into the bolts.
Beyond that, for
truss, there is the Errection (construction) wrench that's popular for doing
truss.
