[DML] Re: Shade Tree Mechanic

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many tools are "Case Hardened". This means they were put through a
hardening process that makes the surface of the tool very hard and
underneath is softer. By grinding the surface off to change it's size
you remove the case hardening. Better to buy the right tool in the
first place. Snap-On makes an adapter that fits, I don't have the P#
right now. You CAN use a piece of square stock bent into an "L" and
put a piece of pipe on the end to make it longer  if you have to. Some
plugs can be VERY stubborn but a long wrench and a hard, fast rap on
the wrench gets them loose. It is also bed practice to use a torque
wrench as a breaker bar. Good tools are an investment, budget for some
on every job if you need to but it is always better (and safer) to use
the correct tools.
