This little guy is awesome for cutting down pushrods. Take the guard off, change the blade out for a cut off wheel.

OTC #6530 Ball Joint Service Kit.
I seem to be using this more than I thought I would be.
Besides ball joints, I also use it on U-Joints, wheel studs, control arm bushings, and other stuff. For smaller stuff, it is quicker than setting up the hydraulic press.

I call this my transmission line speed wrench. The 12 points (well, 9 now) and narrow shoulder make it much easier to turn the fittings in the cramped underside of the car. I swear a lot less after making this tool.

LOL! I have one of those hand crank ring grinders too. I dont build many engines though. Best tool i bought was a Milwaukee cordless 3/8 racket. Very handy and a Cobalt cordless 1/2 impact. Use them alot.

Craftsman and almost any other good tool makers offer those type wrenches in six sided tubing wrenches scope They are thicker on the edges and will work good for a long time without spreading out up

Yes Cab, a 6 point line wrench is stronger.
Humpty's idea is when you have a tight work area and you can't get a turn big enough to get to the next flat with a 6 point, use the 12 point till you're close and finish tightening with the stronger 6 point.
