If anyone on here has ever owned / maintained an in-board engine boat you may have, used, and or seen one of these adjustable slip / lock nut wrench. They are "used" to adjust the packing nuts on the engine shaft... note "used" in quotes... they generally do not work, especially on older saltwater boats, and most folks generally resort to using pipe wrenches etc.. i have personally seen one these come flying out of the bilge accompanied by a stream of expletives as it landed in the bayou,,
Anyways i bought one for my first in-board boat several years ago and since i never throw tools away, regardless of how useless i still have it. Turns out it makes a fairly decent adjustable pin wrench... it really is pretty easy, i just drilled and tapped the jaws out for a couple 12-24 screws and now this tool actually functions...
