Thank you so much for sending this over. I can finally give all these big pipes the gawk gawk 3000 with the twister wizard 7000.

@@HandToolRescue what are you going to do with a wrench that big

The guy that invented that multitool doesn’t look so stupid now does he? 😉😂

@@HandToolRescue 🤨

Im thinking he made that tool specifically for this job. It can't be a coincidence can it?

I was joking with my old lady where the chain might slide through and what damage to sensitive body parts could it cause

im not sure he meant that to look like a witches broom. 🤔

@@afg122602 I was literally here to say the same thing. but ok. sure. it's a family show.

Restortion videos are fake

@@afg122602 that's fair

Thats awesome. one day i want that experience too

@@mystupidfacebook I'm incredibly grateful for her, and I try to live so that I never take it for granted. I hope for the same for you!

I am a retired plumber I used them for running 6” and 8” water and fire mains, these chain wrenches was normal then.

I'll bet the seal was stuck on like glue?

@@ScumClassWorks Stuck like glue? I'd venture a guess that if the filter installer used that wrench, it would be sealed on a molecular level. 😄

@@rogermccaslin5963 friction welded!

Lol 😆

Standard equipment at jiffy lube

SpaceX called, they want to know when you can get that wrench to the shipyard that is working on Phobos and Demos.... (the oil rigs turned launch/landing pads)

@@arcticelectricthe ones that they decided awhile Ago they weren’t actually Going to use?

My grandfather's grandfather taught me. And I clean with such pipe wrenches between my teeth😁

You Only kept one on ya huh? you must have soft hands brother…😂

Pants were stronger back then too.

I fell 38 storeys with one of these big suckers in my back pocket once. Hurt so bad I almost had to take a smoke break--didn't, though. KIDS TODAY, I TELL YA.

@@HANKTHEDANKEST you were lucky. In my day, we'd have t'lick th'entire foundry clean before breakfast and swim through molten steel to even be given a look at a wrench like that.

That's an odd way of asking him to make a casket

You mean...a felt lined trailer?

Yeah right it's screaming let me get back on the rig floor

I think he should build a matching micrometer!

This episode reminds me of all the huge oversized tools needed for working on tanks. And not just because the chain looks like a length of broken track.

@@danielf3623 Working on big things is like recovery. You're going to need something twice as big to unstick it.

Fire Sprinkler fitter here. Yeah. You do need a second one as a "Hold back" We only used them nowadays to remove fittings 4" or bigger. The men that originally installed them were some tough sonofabitches. No one made it out without back and shoulder issues. With the march of technology life is much better for the boys. But jobsites that used to have 20+ guys now only have 2 or 3. Everything has it's good and bad.

@@waltkosch I've not seen 4 inch fittings whenever I'm in buildings for fire alarm activations. Are they the pipes in the ceiling or are there bigger sprinklers in industrial settings.

@@taliakuznetsova7092 Supply mains in the ceilings and Standpipe typically in stairwells.

Was looking for a comment on Oil Rig wrench It's no matter how large the wrench is if it's moved by a crane

That's one of the harder parts of restoration projects, and he did a great job!

Yup. That's exactly what I was reminded of.

I haven't worked rigs but I've seen these around Texas my home state enough to know they're used for oil

Came to say the same, too many hours spinning up/starting bha on pipe racks and bottom of catwalk

Yes, and this is still a monster size. Likely built specifically for working with casing.

I used to work offshore and in the petro-chemical field and we used these often.

Same.

Also same, though I do miss the socially distant garbage on the floor.

Watching someone who grins from ear to ear often can be contagious.

Same here , it makes me LOL

Only intros I rewind and watch again to be sure I didn’t miss a good joke!

Oh, and I thought that eye was for a safety lanyard in case it was dropped from a height.

@@squelchstuff seems more logical it would be for a chain to keep in from falling out of your pocket really

You said snatch blocks.

3or 4 people try only two people the rig runner and helper that about it a rope and a hydraulic cat head been pulling and installing pumps for over 20 years now I was lucky if I got a second helper mybe if it 500+ feet deep then a extra guy is usually used it like ground hogs day after the first two sticks lol💧👍✌️👌🍻💪💯

@@CountryDick that's what they call it it's basically a cable that connects to a truck with a pulley hook that's call a snatch block and you connect a set of clamps to 3 pipe to lift as one off a truck I pull water pump for a living hair it every day 👍✌️👌👌💯💪💧

Wait wasn’t that a toothpick with a chain for a lanyard?

They weren't exaggerated...they were outright lies. You think ONE person operated that wrench??

While there were a few giants, statistically there always are with a large enough population, the average man was shorter than what we are today. Quality of food mostly is what has made us taller. But that doesn't automatically translate to stronger. I wouldn't be the least surprised if the average man was stronger 60 to 100 years back. Now as to giant's I remember my father telling a story from his childhood. Aman on the next farm over was the classical giant. A head or more taller than everyone else and strong, as always in tall tales. He had loaded his truck way over the weight limit with wheat package in sacks of about 120 pounds. Again this is a tale my father told me and I have a feeling those sacks got heavier every time it git told. Anyway it was not just over weight but loaded so high the load towered over the truck, and part of the load took the chance to jump off when he hit a pot hole. Anyway he had backed up and was loading everything back up when the local cop rolled up asking if he needed any help. Technically he was in violation by overloading but I can't really see why the cop would be all that bothered, for the storys sake it's assumed that was a risk. So when the cop says that it looks like a heavy load the guy grunts something about how these sacks of hay were so light they tended to get thrown off. Takes a sack in one hand and throws it a bit over seven feet up on top of the load. While I do think the farmer was a big and strong man, I doubt he was as big and strong as my father told the story. I'd put it right up with the 120 pund bags of grain he lugged up the stairs of the barn when he was 12. These to tended to get heavier and heavier the more he told the story, and I can swear that the first time he told it to me he was 14, so he grew younger as well. Now I did shock my sister when I helped her transport some barrels of feed to her stable. Having no idea of how to do this I put my arms around a 240 pound barrel, lifted it and waddled slowly and clumsily into the stable. Only to be passed by my sister who just tilted hers and rolled it on the rim over to where she wanted it... Lifting that barrel was probably the most I've ever lifted, and I couldn't have carried another one that far. Work smarter, not harder! The next two barrels were a lot easier to handleing it her way.

Hydraulic fracturing in wells isn't new. It's been used since the 1940's.

I have an old whitworth tap and die which has handles extending two feet each side of the die holder. The holder has inserts for different sizes.Victorian engineering was industrial to say the least.

I wrote code for controlling injection molding machines. Does that count?

Wow, I imagine a leak like that could quite easily remove your finger or arm if you were unlucky enough to find it that way? :-O

@@joulupukki2385 извиняйте, в английском не силен. Так, отдельные слова успеваю прочитать.

Its not a fucking pipe wrench

Toolbag Ted from Birkenhead probably has one that size.

@@webchimp 😉😉😁😁🤣🤣

Well, he did have the video to review to make sure that the bolt went back into its proper hole.

@@steveschainost7590 Yes but even so he has to be extremely precise on reassembly or it would be ruined

having seen videos of oil rigs they do have gigantic wrenches and they are suspended by cables. Given how they would move them up and down with ease though I am thinking some of them were counter weighted on the cable vs being on an electric or other power source winch.

Had to think about why. Don't we use big pipes any more?

@@tsm688 power tools used now I would think.

@@alun7006 A power tool that big would still need 6 stout men to hold it unless it was attached to a truck or something. Not because it's big, but because the torque required to prevent the tool spinning instead. And given the choice between 5 random guys and a truck, 5 random guys still seems cheaper
