Default My Speedy Engine Tool

I have been setting up some of my models n have been installing n removing engines. It has been a slow process using Allen wrenches n T handle wrenches. So giving it some thought, I decided to mod one of my T handle wrench. It is an old Harbor Freight brand. I started to cut the T part off with my Dremel but was too slow a process. That plastic handle is tough stuff. So I got my torch and just melted the plastic off. Worked very fast. What I had then was a long wrench with a short offset. I cut the offset off n now can use it with my Harbor Freight smaller drill. The wrench is long enough to clear the engine. It makes working with engines easier for me.
