Wrench Size

If you’re working on something and you don’t know what wrench you would need, all you have to do is – Bolt size +1/2 bolt size + 1/8 = wrench size. It can come in handy when you’re not sure the size.

Share a Tool Tip and Win a Kinetic Water Ram from General Pipe Cleaners

General Pipe Cleaners and PHC News have teamed up on a monthly Tool Tip contest. PHC News will pick one prizewinner in each issue. And each winner will receive a Kinetic Water Ram, including 4-inch rubber cone, five rubber plugs and a carrying case all with a retail value of $325.

The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air that drives a shock wave through water instantly pulverizing stoppages – rust, grease, sediment and scale – in 1-1/4- to 4-inch lines. It won’t harm piping since the Kinetic Water Ram directs 98 percent of the force down the line – and only 2 percent against the pipe wall.
