My very rusty new project

Ah yes the the great tool scamble. On top of the tools I needed to find over the years the halftrack also taught me to weld. Good luck and choose wisely.

Well the £30 socket turned up and it’s a good quality German brand. Unfortunately the nut is so tight it bent the 700 NM torque wrench I’d borrowed from work (a bit of bending back soon fixed that issue). Next up I’ll borrow the 2000Nm wrench and hope that one doesn’t bend!

I'd suggest you make friends with a heavy equipment machanic. He should have oxy-acetylene torches and large impact tools on his truck and might be up for a few extra bucks one evening.
