Isn't that an armourer's tool for the AR14?I need an instruction manual for this one. Darned if I can figure out how to use it.

Years ago i saw one of the tw(o)enders, chinese, dad called it a twinder, said the small end is to fit in tighter spaces. With that big handle in the way? This 5yro asked. Dad often laughed a lot at my questions...
Incidentally, i did once have a lefthand cursing...er...crescent..wrench. the thread went the other way, just like you see on the original from 1895 or so.

Wow, I had to look that up to see if it was a real thing or not. IT IS 
Seems like a lot of pressure can be put on that hinge. It doesn't sound like a very useful strong tool. I wonder how long that thing has been around? Obviously, I've never seen one.

I have one of those adjustable prybars that I use for lining up blowers and pumps and also separating pipe flanges. It's handy because of the range of travel. I wouldn't put a cheater pipe on it but you can get it in places where a fixed angle prybar won't work.Wow, I had to look that up to see if it was a real thing or not. IT IS

I always preferred wedges, where possible, to spread flanges. Keep them apart. And if putting in or pulling slip blinds it makes for easy in and out.

It's only good for a left-handed person over 9 feet tall.I need an instruction manual for this one. Darned if I can figure out how to use it.
Here is a genuine left handed pipe wrench. I can show you a bucket of steam as well....

When I was aboard the USS Bryce Canyon, we used to send the newbies over to the boiler room to get a bucket of steam or a bucket of bitter ends.

I've got a hammer that can drive nails, and by turning it around, pull nails. Handy device.
Y'all do remember claw hammers? Got their name frm split tailed coats men used to wear.

Unfortunately with some people, a hammer in their hand makes everything look like a nail.
For left or right threaded?Guess I'm slow on the uptake - I would've guessed that one side was for loosening nuts, and the other side was for tightening 'em up!
