I have a new favorite tool
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2019 6:56 pm
Yesterday I was trying to get the rusted nuts off the bolts between the manifold and the front part of the exhaust:
- Impact; no way to get a socket and an extender on the bolt from below
- Combination wrenches; not enough space to ratchet and keeps slipping
- Bolt cutter; way too long handles once you open the jaws
- Angle grinder; no way to get it in there
- Sawsall; wrong angle
- Cut off wheel; no way to get the right angle without cutting into the collar
- Hand hack saw; not even going to try it
So, to the rescue, air hammer with a cutoff chisel. Cut the nut right off. I can't believe I have been surviving without this thing.
