Don't you mean 60.96 cm? It would just be wrong to use an imperial wrench on metric fastners.

Pipe wrench and fastener is never a good combination...................If you're at that point, just give up.

You’re welcome.

I always appreciate reader comments and questions. Thank you for the kind words. I hope today’s post and the ones that follow continue to bring you value and pleasure.

FWIW: The tool referenced in one reader post was incorrectly identified. It is in fact is a prototype of an adjustable metric tube hammer. One of many from the adjustable metric hammer line; this one is used for tubes such as frame tubes or bending exhaust pipes.

Jans specialises in creating vehicles that are right on the edge of what is possible, and while it’s unlikely they’ll ever see the light of day, they do provide food for thought for designers, engineers and enthusiasts.At its heart, the Tesla Model M is the electric motorcycle that Tesla might build, if they ever turned their attention to two-wheeled transportation.
