In this article, Val Vas, the YouTube author, will tell you about a simple way to loosen nuts and bolts with mucous edges.
This method is quite simple, but requires the ability to crawl up to the nut or bolt head with an adjustable wrench.
Instruments, used by the author.
- Adjustable wrench
- Hammer.
Manufacturing process.
So, you tried various methods of unscrewing the nut or bolt, even used a variety of lubricants, and "liquid wrenches", but the nut does not loosen, and the key simply slips.
The author offers a slightly unusual solution, which requires an adjustable wrench. Almost all tools in this class have a slight backlash play.
He offers to bait the very tips of the key on the nut, and tighten it as tight as possible.
He carries out the same operation on an experimental nut.
Now the key needs to be hammered onto the lapped head, hitting the shank of the key with a hammer.
A sharp and accurate blow you need to break the nut by turning it. That’s the whole secret.
A little advice, use an adjustable wrench, which is not particularly a pity. It is advisable to use an old one with a big backlash. When hammering the shank, the latter flattenes over time.
I thank the author for a simple but effective way of loosening loose bolts and nuts!
All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!
