Title: Microwave Handy Man Wrench
Post by: microwave-kevin on 06-11-2015 -- 23:48:47
Does anyone know of a source for a handyman (not sure of correct name) wrench.

This is a wrench that is normally circular, thin aluminum or steel with many different sizes around the perimeter for gripping connector flats.... it is much handier than having several different size open end wrenches

Thanks

Additional info, Searched all over, at least I managed to find a picture of what I'm looking for, the semi circular silver wrench in the photo

Thanks Merz but it is not the torque wrench I'm looking for, I can manage with three of those, its the little circular wrench used with about a dozed different open end sizes used on the connector flats, one of these serves for a many ground down (to make thin) ignition wrenches! The flats require a very thin wrench especially 2.92and 1.0 mm..... even 3.5 mm depending on the design

Jimmy different, look at the round wrench for holding the connector flats, they are often a different size than the torque wrench and when dealing with a bunch of connector (N,7mm,2.4mm,2.95mm,3.5mm,f, tnc, sma etc. etc) sizes the little wrench are a pain to keep track of. This one wrench does them all

Torque not so bad, only four wrenches does the job
