Pocketwrench Slim

[Sjoqvist]

Hello again!

Thought I could share my latest mod. I call it the Pocketwrench Slim



It weighs 25g (or 0,9oz), and the standard one weighs 45g (1,6oz). Personally, I can't imagane anyone breaking this without some serious abuse (maybe with a hammer )



As you probably already noticed if you've seen my previous mods, I really like light weight tools since I like to carry lots of them

[Sparky415]

 
Nice job Sjoqvist I like that a lot!   

You have me seriously thinking about doing that to mine   

[nuphoria]

Brilliant

If anyone wants to do that to mine they are welcome!

You know where to send it Mate 

(to me if you were not sure  )

[nuphoria]

Oh, well I'd be happy to let you play with my tool Tony

I think I have lost your addy though, so please PM it. Also, what manner of trinket would you like me to chuck in as payment?

[Sparky415]

PM sent ^ 

I hope Sjoqvist doesen't mind us copying his mods 


I wonder.... maybe trying to be too clever 

[AimlessWanderer]

Looks good Sjoqvist 

Remember Tony the pry tool is only as strong as the material you leave either side of that hex hole, and having internal corners does weaken it slightly more as it focusses the forces so don't get too greedy with the removal mate

I've never played with one of those, can the wrench area not work as an opener anyway? I'm thinking along the lines of the Octane's opener 

[Sjoqvist]

I do not mind you copying any of my mods , actually, the fact that anyone likes my mod that much makes me kind of proud

And Sparky, that bottle opener part looks like a great idea!

Thanks alot for the feedback!

[Syph007]

Cool, I quite like the look of that!  I like the pocket wrench and now you have me thinking about 'improving' mine too.

I have just tried to use it as an opener and think it would chip the glass 
Thanks Al, I will practice on Nuphoria's first in case it all goes wrong

Thanks  How wide is your wrench now please?   

[nuphoria]

I don't need a bottle opener, I use my teeth

[Sparky415]

No worries, I'm just marking out mine as we speak, these things always change as I go along,
yours will be an original Jjoqvist 

[Sjoqvist]

Thanks  How wide is your wrench now please?   

I made mine about 13mm wide. I have not done any crazy prying with it yet, but it feels pretty sturdy

I want to see some pictures when you are done

Cool mod on the Pw2 sjoqvist

You got me thinking I should do a little tuning to mine.

I finished my Slim Wrench 

I angled the pry bit in a couple of degrees
Its not as symmetrical as it could be and I gave up on the opener idea (its some very tough steel  )



Thanks for the idea Sjoqvist 

[Syph007]

It really has a nice look to it in slim mode!  Now you're making me want to do it.

[Sparky415]

  Do it

Whats the worst thing that can happen?

 

[Sjoqvist]

Great work mate!

[Mr. Whippy]

I missed this the first time around.  What a great mod!   

[frugalscotty]

Neat mods, what are the primary tools you are using to remove the excess metal?

I have a Pocketwrench and it's always seemed a little hefty to carry all the time. Your mods seem like an ideal solution.

[David]

Great mod. I hope you were careful with the grinder Tony. Wouldn't want to catch your shirt on fire again.

That only happens occasionally, it teaches us not to wear our favorite tea shirts when we are working 

 

@Scotty,
I used my 1'' linisher, you could also use a bench grinder, 4'' disc cutter or even a dremmel, just remember to keep the wrench cool (dipping it in water) while you are working 

A hack saw and file would also work but take a lot of patience 

[edcgear]

That looks cool!!

Does that mod impact strenght of the tool?

[Sparky415]

Yes but unless you are going to use it with another tool for extra leverage I don't think it will matter in this case 

A demolition Guy might be able break it 

[Syph007]

I guess you could leave a little bulge around the hex cutout for strength but I cant see it breaking under normal use.  Im totally doing it now.

With your 'Modding' skills I'm expecting a perfect job from you Syph 

Maybe with added Peening
