A wrench for those stuck adapters


http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/321728779...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT


Finally found a wrench that should allow me to undo stuck adapters.
Wasn't sure if anyone had noticed these so please forgive me if it's
been talked about before.
It's soft plastic and shouldn't scratch or damage anything so I bought
a couple. They'll rock up in the new year so I'll let you know if they
are any good later.


Cheers
Stephen

Hi Stephen - I trick that I've used a few times that seems to work well is to spread out a lump of blue-tak on the bench then press one end of the adapter into the blue-tak and the grip the other end by hand and rotate.

Give it a try!

You system is a lot gentler than the monster strap wrench I've been using that's for sure. These little plastic wrenches could be ideal. One facing clockwise and one anti-clockwise should work wonders. Find out soon.

I have a couple of rubber strap wrenches that do the trick.

Another trick is to put the lot in the fridge for a bit to cool, then pour boiling water quickly over the outer part so it expands away from the inner piece.
