| Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,767 | I've made crowfoot-type wrenches out of Harbor Freight Chinese box end wrenches and an acetyline torch. Bend the wrench to the shape you want and weld an extension onto the other end to plug in the torque wrench. Getting to some of the stovebolt cylinder head bolts for a retorque without disturbing the valve adjustment is a lot easier with a wrench like that. Snap-On used to make that tool, but I haven't seen one in years. Jerry
