A conventional wrench can be used to make a universal wrench. Its feature is that the handle can be fixed both directly and at an angle of 90 degrees. In some situations, this is very convenient.

In this case, the author uses an old adjustable wrench, which for a long time was lying around idle in the home workshop. Well, this is a worthy use for a "failed" tool.

First of all, it is necessary to cut off the handle of the adjustable wrench with a grinder. Then a small piece will still have to be cut from the metal strip (approximately 1 3 of the length of the handle).

The main stages of work

The plate must be welded to the "head" of the adjustable spanner. Then the master cuts off another piece of the strip of metal, but it welds already perpendicularly. Weld joints must be cleaned with angle grinders with a flap circle.

At the next stage, in the plates welded to the "head", as well as in the handle of an adjustable wrench, it will be necessary to drill holes.

Then it remains only to screw the handle on the bolts to one of the welded plates, depending on how you want to work with a key: with a straight handle or at a right angle.
