Today Kwando Technic would like to introduce how to homemade a tool from Angle Grinder and Cable.
It is very useful for difficult position where you can't use Wrench or Screw driver.
I hope you all feel interested in my video.
Thank you so much!
Kwando Technic.

My dad made what was probably the first flexible drive extension ever.
back in the early 1950s about the time I was born according to what an uncle told me years later about the time my dad needed to get at a nut / bolt or some fastener at an angle that a universal joint type extension was not handy to use so he cut a 1/4" drive extension in half then brazed in a short length of cable. According to my uncle a tool sales men saw it and soon every tool dealer had them

Thank you so much!Quote:

I have had a flexible 1/4'' drive 6'' extension in my tool box for 40 years at least. I have never been able to apply any torque to a nut with it.
