Aleksandar Milosevic Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Since I've seen that a couple of people here made their own wrist wrench, I decided to do so myself, but I have a few questions: I'm gonna use a 60 mm pipe with 2 mm wall, since I think that's enough, but my questions are: Aluminium or steel? How long should it be? Synthetic or cotton straps? Any other tips are welcomed, and thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I would use aluminum because it will not corrode. Don't think it matters what material you use for the straps as long as it can hold a bit more than 50 kg it will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 That's why I want to use aluminium, and it's dirt cheap, the pipe is gonna cost me 3$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Gray Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I am sure it does not matter what material you use, just so it holds the weight. I made one from a tree branch that was cut up to use for firewood in the wood stove. (in my case, just a straight smooth piece of wood 2-1/2" in diameter and 10" long. The ends of the straps were just nailed into the wood handle with roof nails. (The diameter and length can be anything you want). Very happy with my set-up and it works great - and did not cost anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Gary, I missed your response! I already got the aluminum pipe for free, so I'll use that. I just need to drill two holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
