Turn old junk into new tools. Great project for old junk parts laying around the shop. Let me know of some of the neat tools you've built!
Strap wrenches are great to have in your toolbox. It won't be the sort of tool you use on a daily or even regular basis, but it’s the sort of tool that can get you out of a sticky situation really quick. Great for large round or odd shaped items with no way to grip them.
Some of the tools I used in the video:
Carbide Burr Set: amzn.to/2G4Td2O
Just try one to see how great they are: amzn.to/2oSDxbp
I used an old Timing Belt, 13/16" spark plug socket and a small 8mm socket.

Another awesome home made and very handy tool my Friend! Cheers Moe! Zip~ And CONGRATS ON 100K Subs!!!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks Zippo. I'm sure this will come in handy.

@ShawnCFarm 6 лет назад

That works really well for what it is.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Simple tool for sure.

@georgesweap7 6 лет назад

Great idea! I like your thinking, saving money, building your own tools! I’m still waiting for you to clean out the garage and start that ‘65 Ford restoration. Great video content with useful information! Thanks

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I'm sure it will come in handy. I'm waiting for warmer weather to wet sand blast the new cab for the 65.

@hunt4fish 6 лет назад

Good job with the strap wrench. Yeah those carbide deburring tools do an awesome job, once you use one you will never go back eh..cheers

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I picked them up years ago and they sat as I didn't understand the usefulness. I use them all the time now.

@martynjottaj 2 года назад

This is an upgrade I’ve got to do, I currently use vice grips and a strip off an old serpentine belt 👍

@CubasAutomotive 6 лет назад

I seriously like your ingenuity! You do come up with some awesome ideas. I've actually had some good luck with the conventional rubber strap and did have to replace it once due to ripping after years of use. It's helped to get me out of a couple binds. Yours, however, should hold up even better, last longer, etc. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I think they're an invaluable tool. For most stuff my store bought ones work fine but I always find a stubborn job that's pretty rough on them. Each time I've broken one I notice there are less than half a dozen nylon reinforcing fibers where a timing belt will have over a dozen. I hope this will work out better on those tough jobs.

@oscara.8176 6 лет назад

Nice tool sir! One of my youtube favorites channels indeed... more uploads please ;)

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks Oscar. -Moe

@AtimatikArmy 6 лет назад

I am always stoked when a sixtyfiveford video is in my feed! Equally, my other favorite channel is J Mantzel (an interesting and like Moe, a very innovative, talented dude).

@jackjones9886 Год назад

Great video and just the homemade tool that I needed for my sized engine 😀 I can rotate the engine clockwise with the crankshaft bolt or bump engine with the starter. But I can't make it go counter clockwise, as it will just unscrew the crankshaft bolt. Your 🔧 is just the ticket to get the grab and tourqe on the pulley so the engine can be rocked in reverse. A old v-belt can also be cut,and fill in the groves to add stability to the v belt pulley.

@not2fast4u2c 6 лет назад

That is a good tool project to make !!!..I lost my oil filter wrench for my truck and used a ratchet strap and had about a foot hanging out to wrap around my hand a pulled on it

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

That works. Ford guys always get the job done.

@lewiemcneely9143 6 лет назад

tHAT is a FINE idea and the washer welded on will keep the socket from spreading! I use old 'V' belts for slings for lifting stuff all the time. Thanks, Pal!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I'm amazed how much a fan V belt can hold. I bought the front frame and suspension section off a 70's Ford truck years ago from a wrecking yard. They lifted the entire 500+lb chunk into the bed of my truck all dangling from a single used V belt.

@lewiemcneely9143 6 лет назад

I believe it! I hang my 5665 GRavely with a kidney mower on the front of it with no problem but just enough to work on it. I've just got about a 7 foot ceiling and a strap hoist hung from that but it sure helps out the old back! And a V-belt makes a strong and quick sling. I usually stand riders on one end or the other instead of doing like a buddy of mine said and crawling around like a serpent and the belts work and don't gouge chunks out. Keep after it, Red! We're with you!

@retrorestore 6 лет назад

What a great tool, so simple and does a great job. I'll have to make one of those. Thanks for sharing.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks. Have to love turning junk into a tool.

@gunther955 6 лет назад

I agree !

@sjs2657g 6 лет назад

Good idea. If you used just a section of a cogged timing belt with the store bought strap wrench, you would probably get a better grip than the store bought wrench alone.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Hey Thanks.

@DoingItCheap 6 лет назад

Dang it Moe !!!! That was too easy !! I expected 47 and a half pieces and 24 machinists tools to be used !! LOL !!! I LIKE IT !! Now tell me please, did you NOT turn the belt inside out because the "teeth" grip better than the smooth side? Sorry, but that question was driving me crazy when I saw you grind the teeth off the belt. Another great job Moe ! Thank you for sharing !

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I had other plans but figured it should be simple and functional. It can be flipped inside out at it sits and I can use the cogged or smooth side. I figured the teeth would bite in a little better.

@DoingItCheap 6 лет назад

DOH !!!!!! Of course it can be flipped inside out !!! No wonder you are The Esteemed One and I am but a lowly viewer of your greatness !!!!! LOL !!

@redneckengineering7739 6 лет назад

Nice im going to have to make one now

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Awesome.

@hdman97 6 лет назад

Wow that's a better design than the commercial ones

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

The commercial ones use cheap rubber belts that stretch, slip and break easily. They're fine for super light duty things but those projects I can generally just grab what ever I'm working on by hand and hold it.

@Gomepez 6 лет назад

I pray you never stop making videos, I watch every video you post and have learned so much. Thank you so much sixtyfiveford.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks Man.

@joshuaklingensmith7843 5 лет назад

He's a good man for sharing his knowledge. Myself I'm camera shy and it takes alot of work to shoot a RU-vid video that catches someone's attention

@lastniceguy1 6 лет назад

I wonder if when using your chain wrench, if worried about scratching, if you put an old belt between the chain and the item if it would still do the job and not scratch/distort?

@jandastroy 6 лет назад

I think the edges of the chain could still dig right into whatever rubber you would put between it and the part due to the forces at hand. It might reduce damage to the part but it would probably ruin the padding after enough uses. Leather might hold up for something like that but you'd still have the extra alignment of yet another thing in potentially tight spaces

@johnpossum556 6 лет назад

Those strap wrenches are handy for unloosening mayo lids and such around the kitchen. The only ones I have ever found that were remotely worth a damn are professional plumbers ones that they use on the chrome bathtub fittings so they don't gall & scratch them up. This is an extremely useful project idea.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

@bryce86777 6 лет назад

Great idea! I'll be using it. I am going to try it with the belt teeth out.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I can flip it inside out with it all together and use both sides as it sits right now. I want to try out a slightly different design with a serpentine fan belt.

@patriciahibbert6139 6 лет назад

I'm using the wife's computer,My late father made a oil filter wrench with a old seat belt instead of the timing belt.But still nice to see this idea works.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Very Neat.

@jonnyboat2 6 месяцев назад

I wonder if an oxygen sensor socket would work. They already have a slot cut in. I think.

@Bucyruserie28W 6 лет назад

Another great idea Steve

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks. Just playing in the shop with old junk.

@DoingItCheap 6 лет назад

Speaking of 100 K subs.... has RU-vid sent your silver play button plaque yet ?

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I think it takes a few months for them to verify I didn't pay for subs.

@DoingItCheap 6 лет назад

Make sure you show it off when you get it !! I want one, but I am only at 34,000 now.

@2LateIWon 6 лет назад

Very cool looks like the teeth really help around the part.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I'm pretty rough on the store bought ones and haven't had good luck. Each time I've broken one I notice there are less than half a dozen nylon reinforcing fibers where a timing belt will have over a dozen. I hope this will work out better.

@2LateIWon 6 лет назад

Id think it would have to work better. Yeah the store bought ones Ive used always seem to slip on me no matter what I do.

@dirtysalmonchaser 6 лет назад

great video, very handy tool- i hate those strap wrenches they never work for me , always stretch and come loose

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I feel the same, that the strap wrenches are great in principle but fail in real life. This timing belt seams rock solid.

@AtimatikArmy 6 лет назад

Exactly, strap wrench using a real timing belt! Come on Moe!

@timwilhelmson8707 6 лет назад

good job

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks, it seems to work as planed.

@ronsbeerreviewstools4361 6 лет назад

This is a good informative & entertaining video. I hope to make one. Thumbs up # 720 & subbed.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

@AtimatikArmy 6 лет назад

I was hoping you where going to make it like your chain one from the video before but using this sturdy toothed belt which I think would make it a lot less clunky when handling, plus as you also mentioned, non-marring! Come on 65, might you consider version 3.0?!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Timing belts aren't super common for people to have laying around so I planned on making a different version with a standard serpentine fan belt.

@AtimatikArmy 6 лет назад

true... it would be super solid though!

@armyvet4081 6 лет назад

I have been doing this for many years . Makeing tools out of junk in the garage. I would love to share but I don't know how post pictures and make vids.I have many one of a kind tools that are not available in stores.

@AtimatikArmy 6 лет назад

I would love to see your collection! I love this kind of stuff and also have made a number of my own homemade tools! Good old fashioned American ingenuity!! (That's getting to be a thing of the past though it seems, unfortunately...)

@billpotter8714 6 лет назад

My favorite channel too! Dang just pitched a belt I think. Keep them coming.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks Bill. I've been staring at this darn belt for almost a year trying to find a good use for it.

@ozzstars_cars 6 лет назад

I knew I saved the last 8 serpentine belts for something, I just didn't know what that something was until today. Thanks for the idea man!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I've been starring at this darn thing for nearly a year trying to come up with a good use.

@cyclopsgarage9417 6 лет назад

Excellent idea, will need to make myself one. I have a couple 5 gallon buckets filled with old sockets, wrenches, etc. Great for making “tight spot” tools if a regular tool won’t fit into an area.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Japan/Taiwan tools are great for cutting up and making one off tools.

@Peter-.H 6 лет назад

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

@805ROADKING 6 лет назад

Brilliant Mate!!☺

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks Man.

@selador11 6 лет назад

Great idea! Now get another belt, and cut it, and just put it in that big black strap wrench handle. I hate the 'straps' they put in those. I have broken every single one I have ever used!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I'm pretty rough on mine and haven't had good luck. Each time I've broken one I notice there are less than half a dozen nylon reinforcing fibers where a timing belt will have over a dozen. I hope this will work out better.

@JOEZEP54 6 лет назад

Moe that is really a great homemade too, using reclaimed material! I knew I was saving those old belts for something.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

This belt has been starring at me for nearly a year. I'm glad I was able to repurpose it.

@JOEZEP54 6 лет назад

LOL I know what you mean. I have quite a bit staring at me as well.

@joeo1352 6 лет назад

@runner406 6 лет назад

@theomnipresent1 6 лет назад

Not sure if that was a compliment or not...

@fritom444 6 лет назад

you gotta be a ford head to understand lol

@wyattoneable 6 лет назад

You are the king of home made anything. I remember the video where you made the chain vice grip. I can't believe it's been a year already.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Hey Thanks. I had to look it up and I guess it was only 5 months ago when I built the chain one.

@tombob671 6 лет назад

Great idea, could you also use O2 sensor socket ?

@Peter-.H 6 лет назад

Great idea tom. There’s already a cutout in it. I will definitely try it. Thanks for sharing!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Yeah, if I had an extra 02 sensor tool I would have just used that.

@aleblanc3547 6 лет назад

Thanks, Moe! I just never know what new invention you're going to come up with!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Junk to tool. Thanks

@2LateIWon 6 лет назад

Oh and congrats on the 100K subs. You do awesome work, my friend!!! My goal right now is to hit 10K LOL Ill do some sort of give away @ 5K (which shouldn't take too much longer to get there...hopefully)

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks Man. I enjoy your videos and I know others do as well.

@nexo567 6 лет назад

@nexo567 6 лет назад

Thanks, found it and subbed.

@davidhamm5626 6 лет назад

thanks for the video! Try turning the belt inside out next time, it will save getting rid of the teeth.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

I only had to remove a small portion of teeth. I want them on the inside to do the gripping and be sacrificial against sharp edges.

@TheShadeTreeFixitMan 6 лет назад

Good tip for sure.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks. Can't beat turning junk into a tool.

@Madmax-lu4nw 6 лет назад

Awesome job, I need something like that to hold my harmonic balancer still while I torque the center bolt (135 ft lb), I might attempt to make a tool like this, thanks for sharing the idea.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

That's always fun trying to torque the harmonic balancer bolt. I had the harmonic balancer fall off my '78 Ford Truck years ago on the freeway. The bolt wasn't properly torqued(not by me). Luckily the bolt and balancer stayed in the engine bay.

@scottparat 5 лет назад

Nice custom tool ....love your creations! One big use I can use for this is to turn some big pier pipe that has an auger on the end which screws down into the river bed or out when the time comes, the only thing I need is more leverage. I was using a big HF alumuminum pipe wrench until the casting on the pipe wrench broke .....thanks for the vid :)

@sixtyfiveford 4 года назад

I've see those monster HF pipe wrenches. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

@billnlori3149 6 лет назад

Great video, I have a strap wrench for big Caterpillar filters made from an old seat belt. Works great, it will get the tightest ones off!!

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

A seat belt one would be awesome.

@glenharper3136 6 лет назад

Another cool video, Was that belt from your Escort?

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

It was. I pulled it out last year while doing a leaking head gasket.

@jimmccoskey8253 6 лет назад

Thanks for all the videos. Always interesting and informative. Thanks again.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Thanks Jim. -Moe

@adiyogi453 3 года назад

In case of a pipe, where length is closed, it won't work. You need to design a strap wrench which has open end.

@mnight207 6 лет назад

I took a weed killer pump and turned it into a tire pump. SUPER EASY and unlike a bike pump, this can store air and dang neer indestructible

@JDeWittDIY 2 дня назад

Has this wrench stood the test of time? Do you find yourself using it every once in a while? I think I'll have to make myself one of these...

@sixtyfiveford 2 дня назад

I've probably only used it 2-3 times. It's still kicking.

@DAS-Videos 6 лет назад

@jameslund221 3 года назад

I need the burr set, or I will need it some day, but sixty bucks? I can’t afford that!

@sixtyfiveford 3 года назад

They have less expensive ones or you really only need 1 maybe 2.

@georgeghaly4130 5 лет назад

This is a good DIY tool.. But the thing is it might be not appropriate to fit in tight places. i think using a smaller belt will be better for things like oil filters.

@sixtyfiveford 5 лет назад

That's the great thing about making your own tools; you can make them exactly for what fits your specific needs.

@mnight207 6 лет назад

Why not use the timing belt in your strap wrench?

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Because it would take more work to adapt it to my plastic handled strap wrench than to just make this.

@csilva19831 5 лет назад

Subscribed because of this video no more special oem oil filter tools

@sixtyfiveford 5 лет назад

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

@1fanger 6 лет назад

Many times I need just such a tool. Some years back, I had a machine delivered on a pallet and the shipper used these really strong ratchet tie downs, the 1 inch wide kind. They were different. they had a hex head on them, around 9/16", instead of the usual stamped steel lever like on the Walmart specials out there. I have use them for everything from re inflating a stubborn tractor tire to taking off oil filters.

@sixtyfiveford 6 лет назад

Very neat. I can't say I've seen ones with a Hex head for the ratcheting mechanism.

@kerrdog9046 3 года назад

@ron827 5 лет назад
