Re: Strap Wrech (was: [A2] Timing belt replacement)

["Matthew Chase" <mattchase1@home.com>]

I bought one of these at a NAPA store. It's sold as a universal oil filter
wrench. It's made from a piece of chromed 1" square stock which accepts a
1/2" drive ratchet (or breaker) and a pretty breefy nylon strap about 2"
wide that opens to about an 8-10" Dia. Iv'e used it for tons of different
things (except as a filter wrench).
It was cheap too.
