Rounded off drain plug

   / Rounded off drain plug #601  
My list for Kando's drain plug project.

One vise,one floor jack,two jack stands,one package of JB Weld,one oxy/acetylene cutting torch,one small pipe wrench,one large pipe wrench,one long cheater pipe,one box end wrench,one Lincoln HD140 and and a spool of Innerdhield NR 211MP. Have I overlooked anything? Oh wait,gotta have a six pack for this "hold my beer project"and smart phone to document for U-Tube. :blacksmith::tractor:

Forgot fire extinguisher, BF hammer, duck tape and first aid kit.

Anybody ever try one of these:

I don't even know if they're still sold. The concept was sort of like a pipe wrench, more pulling force tightened up on the bolt/nut.
I have one inherited from great grandfather. I would not reccomend it for anything. The road to Kando's problem is paved with these, off brand vise grips, cheap crescent wrenches and chinese channel lock pliers.

Even good brand vice grips and channel locks have no business where a wrench belongs. Good adjustable wrenches are fine, but junk ones are only good for a paper weight.

Yeah every tool has a proper use. Seems like it would be intuitive, but to many, it is not.

I think the OPs pipe wrench is junk. A pipe wrench with sharp teeth would get that out.

AGREED !!!
I have a 3 size set of Rigid pipe wrenches, any one of which would EASILY get that out.
If I didn't live more than 1000 miles away I would go do it for him.

I see an absolute zero chance of that tool working for Kando.

Agree, you can not suck any oil out the dipstick tube with that wrench. It is not even hollow. :D

My go to is lowes, which doesnt list ridgid amongst their stock. Recommendations out of lowes selection?

No, kobalt pipe wrenches suck. HD has rigid or order.
