i am going to either start screaming or crying.

[AlCzervik]

i am trying to replace to flex plates on some patio chairs and i need a socket wrench and i have several but they are all too long to fit the space between the bottom of the chair and the plate. My fingers are fucking killing me from trying to use the channel locks on one side and crescent wrench on the other. I am so goddamn aggravated!!! AAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

1. Me too, but for a different reason

which I can't discuss here. :hug:

Love you. :loveya:

[AlCzervik]

3. hugs to you and some band aids for me. My index finder on my right hand, not

looking good.


:hug:

2. >>>

:hug: :beer:

[AlCzervik]

4. you know maybe if i did have a beer it might help me solve this problem.

i just walked away from the chairs hoping something would come to me, like some magical short socket wrench dropped off by elves.

11. That's the secret to so many repairs, having the right tool

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. I wish you lived next door. We have every tool ever created, and

some that were only thought up in the mind of my husband. They have come in handy now that I do all this crap by myself.

[AlCzervik]

6. i wish i did too!

:hi: :hug:

i swear to god i am going to call snap on and order a new set of hydraulic socket wrenches, the whole frigging kit.

[BrotherBuzz]

7. Would a pair of old fashioned open end wrenches do the job?

Just an idea. Been there, done that.

[AlCzervik]

8. they would but the space is really confined, like a few inches up, down and sideways.

i broke out every wrench set i had trying to find the ratchet with the 9/16th short attachment and it's not there.

[bridgit]

9. hahahahaha, from what i hear those are some of the very biggest problems...

in EG :spray:

[AlCzervik]

10. in my part of elk grove that is true.

[bridgit]

12. ah, so you're an EG elitist?

[leeroysphitz]

13. Two words. oxyacetylene welding.

If a thing like this is worth doing at all it's worth doing RIGHT.

[AlCzervik]

14. i could see a lot going wrong there.

besides with all the plastic injection molding i'm doing i just have time to learn that, maybe when i retire.

[Inchworm]

15. Hire a pro

:rofl:

I played with wrenches and such today and I remember seeing 8pm slip by...

I woke up in my car at 10:30 lol

:yoiks:
