You know, trying to slow down LPL by showing him a cool tool to play around with might not be a bad strategy. It is that, or ducktape.

Yes.

Holy shit lol, that was genuinely kinda brilliant. If you aren't already an artist... go be one. Go be one right now you wonderful [lesser] fossil, you! And then let me know where you're selling your art, cause I want some! (I can only imagine how badly you want to escape the helix-shaped shadow that engulfs and defines your entire existence)

I was thinking extra credit assignment for a CNC class.

@@usp211816 Yeah I'm in a CNC training course right now, and I could definitely see this being a semester challenge. It's not hard per se, just complicated. Most of it would be done with one or two cutters and a constant feed rate, assuming you allow for tool relief radii on the corners. If the corner transitions have to be sharp, it'd be final project worthy though. You'd need a 5-axis and the grace of god to make it with sharp features.

@@dustinbrueggemann1875 "grace of god" and expensive mill bits.

Did I pass?

@@HandToolRescue Definitely passed with flying colors, that piece is a nightmare LOL I'm amazed it didn't snap while you were making it.

Would not be metric either. It would be a novel gauge used nowhere else. You'll just have to take precision measurements to determine the basic scale. No doubt it's based on the king's toes, which you can obtain once you get _into_ the tomb, which is kind of a problem.

An alligator wrench like the one on the handle of this thing is as good as any for a pentagonal nut (unless you happen to have a pentagonal wrench the right size).

The real question is would you have the clearance to turn the wrench? Can you wrench on the wrench in practical terms?

@@gorillaau There's the rub. The one problematic nut that stands out in my memory was a pentagonal nut about 1 cm at its widest point nested inside a 4(ish) cm square depression. That it was seized fast did not help. Every tool I had was wrong for the task I had before me and I had alligator wrenches galore. I ended up getting a file and grinding out a notch on one head of a plier so I had a flat on one side and a V-notch on the opposing side. Still took the better part of 20 minutes to cuss it loose. 😄

@@kitchentroll5868 ahhh. No, it was the cussing that did it. Best way to get rid of a problem, whether it be dog and cat, children, or even marriage. A divorce might take a pound of flesh or more when that happens.

Plus, try getting that massive tool into the spot where the head of that small pentagonal bolt head is.

I think it’s from Doom 1919?

The best part is that he provided us with the STL to build the wrench.... so now we can actually build a lock that uses this as a key!

My first thought was that it looks like a shitpost from 1919.

Yeah, it might actually be a patent for a type of "gauge" check? Still might be a poor design (as separate gauges would be better). But one none the less.

It does that to gunshots in the forest also.

1880 was the last year for patent model requirements in the USA, unfortunately.

@@Neptun2006 Seems like a good broaching operation

Maybe his next patent was wire EDM

They make cheap "3-way drain wrenches" that are basically this product (except better thought-out). Very useful to turn the weird fastener ring on kitchen sink strainer baskets, and various other odd/oversized fasteners, if you don't have pro plumbing tools.

This thing looks like an AR armorer's wrench lol

Very. I thinking of making one and putting it low key in the garage shop where it looks like it's used a lot.

It's a great Swiss army knife like tool, squished flat. Say, is squished a word in some industry?

@@rickgreer7203 So, what, create some weathering on it before you harden it? Slightly round some of the corners to make it look like it's been hard-used for decades? ;-]

Agreed, especially with it having the alligator on the other end. Convince someone that one of the slots will definitely fit the thing they're trying to work with and, after watching them struggle, take it off them and say "or you could just use this end." Smacks of sending the apprentice for a bucket of fog or a long weight.

yeah

@@noexpensespentstudios I agree

“Ornamental Design” is the description used for filings on car designs too. It eliminates the need to provide information on functional details.

Yeah I read it as a joke item too. Like a commentary or joke about there being too many standards of fasteners: you could have a tool that has a spot to fit every one of them or just use the other end with a single shape that works on them all.

That would have been an excellent candidate for EDM. You put a ridiculous amount of time into it. A true exercise in: “Why do people climb mountains…because they are there.”

When i saw you start to hand machine this i went like ????? I mean props to you for spending the time, but the tool wear would have probably been enough to cover lasercut or watercut this as a local shop or something like sendcutsend haha

@@e_s.0848 I know, I've been a Christian for the last 53 years. By the way, I've always wondered, does putting replies like this on completely unrelated comments do any good? Don't just about everyone except those of us who are already Christians just ignore comments like that? Yeah there's a CHANCE you could happen to hit on someone who's actively looking for the truth, and maybe point them in the right direction, so maybe it IS worth it.🤷 By the way, you may be interested in the videos I have up on my channel. I haven't done a new one in almost a year, since I'm pretty much technologically illiterate. And the person who WAS supposed to be my editor has been working pretty much 24-7 at his new job as a live-in manager of a motel, and doesn't have time anymore. My husband and I are STILL trying to figure the whole thing out, it's been slow going, but I'm sure we'll get it eventually. I'm HOPING to be able to put another video up soon. On the subject of why a loving God would allow bad things to happen. My channel is meant as a place of fellowship for Christians, a source of discipleship for new Christians, a place to go for answers to the kinds of hard questions that keep people from wanting to BECOME Christians, and a source for prayer partners.

Well, an adjustable wrench needs more care than this ... thing. 😁

I would think that would be best way to get bulk of work done. Nothing wrong with using modern processes which normally improve on the old.

Thats what the lunatic that patented it thought, but 'one shit wrench' never enjoyed the success of the swiss army knife.

I don't think it's brought BACK to life. It's been brought to life for the first time ever.

That was my first thought. Pretty sure this guy never heard the term "stress riser."

I got a "Farmer's Wrench" because it was cheap and looked cool. The VERY FIRST TIME I used it I destroyed it. XD I assume something similar would happen here.

Honestly the only sensible explanation. its a tool made for an apple machine in the future

I have a few of those because I like them, weird things that they are - but I only use my Swiss Army tool because, y'know, it's actually comfortable to use. 😁

In the states they used in water systems. The curbstop would have five sided bolt. I think some padmount transformers use them too.

Except a chain wrench will open and close a hydrant. This is obviously a one off type of wrench. Only part that serves any functionality is the alligator end.

@@Ham68229 True, but if someone _really_ wants to tamper with a hydrant, they're going to. The five-sider is meant to stop people from just getting a regular wrench and opening the hydrant valve.

@@joeylawn36111 Pipe wrench opens all.

Hydrants, curb boxes (gas curb boxes as well) are 5 sided bolts. Some hydrants have a collar around the operating nut to eliminate tampering, so only the correct 5 sided socket will fit inside.

Considering the amount of work it took to replicate this device it would be about a thousand dollars.

Consider me a buyer.

Does he even NEED to invent any new tools, if he already invented this one?

He also invented an improved spindle for electric trolley wheels in 1932, and in 1944 an improved frame for racking billiard balls. I can't tell if he was serious but incompetent, a practical joker, or needed serious treatment for something. He was born in Italy about 1895, and came to the USA with a great many others of his homeland during the early 20th century. The Volpe name was notorious in Pittsburgh during prohibition. In 1932, 3 members of the family (John, James, and Arthur) were gunned down in broad daylight in a Mafia hit.(They were bootleggers and racketeers.) I don't know if Michael Volpe the inventor was related to them, but if he was, I find it ironic that his was the more sane past time.

​@@itatane Was he trawlling for someone at the isn't office to rush off and bring it to market first?

I doubt it.The patent clearly says it’s ornamental.I just can’t imagine someone carrying this around when adjustable wrenches and pliers were as common as they are today.

@@BrooklynBalla that's not necessarily what that means. It could just as easily mean "I'm going through withdrawals right now, can I just call it 'ornamental'? Is that good enough for a patent? I need to go find some more crack". On a related note: maybe those are for adjusting/tinkering with his crackpipe ;) (Note: drug usage choice is not chronologically accurate)

Ornamental has a specific meaning for patents, it means that the specific appearance is patented. Because you couldn't patent it as a multitool, that concept already existed.

The frustrations can be provided as outtakes and bloopers at the end of the video.

They're actually somewhat common as a tamper resistant bolt head. Fire hydrants in the US often have them.

@@puckcat22679 I knew I'd seen them in the wild somewhere! over here they're all square tapered jobs (and buried in the ground with a little yellow H-sign nearby.)

Wrought iron nuts were made by wrapping and welding the grain of the material around a mandrel, forged to shape between swages and tapped.

@@sthompson1000 iIt depends on the era (and smith), but most small fasteners (under an inch or so) were made with a punch and drift right up until machine production became more commonplace. it takes a few seconds to punch the hole in a rough blank, as opposed to the 2-3+ heats needed to forge-weld around a mandrel. a lot depends on the size of raw iron stock available. of course the use of swages for the outside shape is common (especially in a production environment), but it relies on having the correct swage pair for the job, and still doesn't guarantee a good result. hexes only became common well into the machine-age for this reason, there's no point paying your smiths for fancier nuts and bolts than you really need!

I HAVE SEEN A VERY FEW OCTAGONAL NUTS USED AS PART OF A UNION PIPE FITTING, BUT VERY RARELY!!

It’s just right for opening bottles that haven’t been invented yet.

Like the Snoorpk on MadTV? 😂

I absolutely love the fractal vise. It’s beautiful! I want one.
