Pretty much the same story. Although if I’m honest I cringed a little bit cutting off the head of this broken Torque Wrench. But everyone in the shop loves the “Torque Hammer” and makes jokes about turning it up or down. There’s a small tack weld to keep the adjustment from spinning while swinging though.

The wrench is just made from 1/4 sheet and to fit into a specific place. I didn’t have an extra wrench to modify so cut this one out. Hardened it as best I could with a torch and some oil, been holding up so far.
