tension wrenchs

[Joyo]

does anyone know of a house hold item that can be quickly turned into a tension wrench without an extreme makeover on the item no screwdrivers

Search the site for one.

Windscreen wiper blades (windsheild) have a metal part in them that once removed make stunning wrenches,

Follow where a street cleaner has been and you may find the odd steel bristle laying on the floor, check around curb stones and railings etc where you would imagine the bristle to be pulled out more, they also make quite good wrenches,

Some make shift ones have been made from the metal clips that are on pens or a bicycle spoke hammered flat at the end and bent over can be used, old eye glasses or head phone bands have also recently been reported as working well,

Personally if making them i would stick with the wiper inserts, you get 2 bits of metal per wiper and you will get around 3 from each insert i think,

Have a look around, if its metal, can be bent, is springy a little, safe to retrieve etc then you can probably use it, experiment.

Not really anything but if your lucky and find a fork which is already thin enough to be inserted into the keyhole you coudl use that, i wouldnt use this my self cause i dont need to.


I would say if you had a fork lying somewere and there wasnt anything else it would be best for a wrench

[Shrub]

Dont start that again Jason it was funny when you used to do it but

Still cracked me up though

[Jason13]

Yes it was funny But but bair with me here, You happen to lock your self out of your house and you have a fork lying somewhere it would be the only choice Ya it was funny at the time












For use

[Jason13]

Of course some kind of pick involved

[Shrub]

Well ok i admit if your desparate but to be honest i dont leave my cutlery out in the garden that often and i would rather remove the insert from my van windscreen wiper, saying that i could just go in the van and get my picks out anyway

[Jason13]

Or your picks are in the van and the van is locked, all the wiperblades are of from getting them of after you got locked out of your own house.



Idea get a few of a other guys car ( neighbours car ) leave a £10 under there wiperblade like a policeman does with a ticket

[Shrub]

Hmmm i dont think a tenner would last long under a wiper round here to be honest

Ill just get santa to drop down the chimney for me

[Jason13]

Or dont pay him at all nah put it through the letterbox,



Or attach it to a birds leg and hope it knows to fly next door

[pip]

so Jason
instead of putting a spare key
outside under the Welcome mat
i'll put a couple forks
