  • GM distributor wrench

    From Snag@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 16 16:11:19 2023
    I can't find the one I made a few years back ... might have fallen
    into that black hole my oldest son calls his tool box . Eeeennnnnny waaaaaayyyyy , I was looking online for one and I was totally aghast ,
    totally aghast! I tell you at the prices !
    So I decided to make one with a Chinee 6 point socket and a length of
    1/2 inch round mild steel . One bandsaw cut , 2 bends and a little MIG
    welding and Robert's yer mother's brother . Well , maybe a 12 point
    socket .

    Sounds a lot like my Harley clutch basket impact socket.

    Slice the socket with the old abrasive saw, weld a piece of pipe in the
    middle, and fit on impact wrench. BAM! Roberta is your cousin's mom.

    If Robert can identify as Roberta why don't people respect that I identify
    as younger and thinner?

    My grandpaw was a Southern Appalachian farmer named Ulysses Grant Wilkins,
    and like the song character and the General powerful enough to crush all opposition. The Confederacy wasn't popular among the mountain folk.

    It could get really interesting. I knew a family who named their oldest
    son Robert and their oldest daughter Roberta.

    LOL
    Thought I would contribute. I heard a number if years ago
    that there is was a Oil Baron in Texas who's last name was Hogg.

    Him and his wife had twin girls.

    They named the one Ema and the other Ima.

    Nuff said!!!

    Have a good day.
