May I ask why?

The hammer greatly increases difficulty of using wrench in tight spaces.
Seems like a terrible idea to me.

Just when I thought you couldnt outstupid the rigging axe.

Stanley has a "Demolition" Wrench with a hammer. STA075081.

Might be able to find it locally.

I'd like to find a 1/2 socket wrench with one of those hammer things coming off the side. When I'm under a car it's a pain in the ass to have to crawl out for a hammer. 16 oz would be ideal; strong enough to knock the shit out of something, but not so heavy that it wears you down.

For reaching tight places I use my normal wrench. The hammer bit is for me only to give a small hit to another wrench which doesn't want to engage on a deformed nut.
I also have to admit that I realy like the look, even if it isn't practical (like buying a RX7 or a Mustang, it's not the best thing for the job, but if you like the look, are willing to do some compromise, why not)

Thanks, I'll check it out

In general this just leads to deformed nuts or broken shit. Use something to extend the wrench like a pipe, or get a proper breaker bar. If you are talking about hitting an open end wrench or heaven forbid an adjustable wrench then you are doing it wrong.

Of course impact wrenches seem to contradict everything I just said lol. go ahead and use the big hammer.

>It's already deformed
I mean like on a rounded nut, I can put my normal wrench on it, give it good wack with the hammer head (especially in confined places where the pipe and real hammer isn't possible), and reform a bit of hexagon to turn the damn thing. Oh and also I can wave it like a hammer to scare fucking greg away when I work.

I also want to know where i can buy a thumb detecting nut fucker

I'd like to hear what Greg has to say about those stress points.

I like the Snap n' Grip for this purpose.

A little story:
I'm driving and start feeling knocking sound from the steering of my truck.
It's the inside tie rod.
Knockings get worse every few km.
I had no tools and was too far from home to keep driving.

At the ironware store I buy a set of two of those kind of wrench for less €12, and a tie rod from the parts store for €14.

I use the wrench to remove the wheel nuts. 24mm sized, much bigger than wheel wrenches the people in the parking lot had.

Then I use it to remove 3 different size nuts and the tie rod itself.
The tie rod is impossible to get off with a normal wrench when the balljoint has a lot of play like mine had.

I am sold on them now.

>a 1 ton truck designed in 1960s and an economy car from 1990s share the same inner tie rod.

Anyone want to guess the make?

what will be their next invention a wrench, hammer and a butt plug so you don't need a tool belt anymore?

>>1213062
Those look nice, but I'm not sure they'll work on rounded nuts. Meh, as an emergency/cary with tool, why not

If /diy/ had a sticky, it would say this: If you encounter rounded nuts on a regular basis, you are doing something very wrong.

Either you are buying shit from a retard, or you are a retard.

I know. I used to round off nuts when I was a retarded kid. I used to regularly use pic related. I still own it. I have not used it in literally decades.

There's nothing wrong with being new and inexperienced. There's everything wrong with not learning, especially now that you can google any thing imaginable.

>>1213392
Depends on how rounded they are but they'll probably work.

They're not as grippy as a pipe wrench, but still grippy enough.

The big one hooked on to the bell shaped part of the tie rod easily enough.

>rounding off nuts

Why would you do that in the first place?

>>1213496
>>1213401
I dont round them often. It's just when taking old nuts appart, or very tight nuts which were put on without a washrer or some oil. Or just plain stuck nuts or bolts. And no, I don't round them on purpose, even though I usualy work on repairing some chinesium grade shit with shitty bolts

Almost all fasteners work better if you apply anti-seize to the threads. Even spark plugs come out easier. Exhaust fittings benefit, but after enough years they can become baked. If you work on a vehicle and there is any possibility that you will work on that part of it ever again, you will be glad if you used pic related on the threads.
