Manufacturing process.
Using a ruler and a pencil, marks two future blanks in the form of a corner on a steel plate.
Cuts workpieces using a grinder with a disc for metal.
Marks a hole at the received corners and drills it with a diameter of M8.
He tries on the obtained corner to a profile pipe, drills a hole in it.
Collects received items.
He tries on the resulting construction to an unnecessary file, marks it out.
Cut the desired piece of file, grind the edge at an angle of 45 degrees.
These are the two blanks, these will be clamps.
Welds workpieces. One to the profile pipe, the second to the corners.
As an emphasis will use here is such a segment of a steel plate. Welds it to the second edge of the corners.
Here is a capture mechanism turned out.
It's time to test the tool in action! A standard nail puller does not catch a nail without a hat. And the author’s tool easily clamps it and pulls it out in one motion.
Now he tries the nail clipper on the bracket. Everything is also successful.
Well, a serious opponent, hammered into the wall. He generally vomited with a piece of wall.
Thanks to the author for the interesting idea of the tool and its implementation!
All the good tools!
