The die section is .900 thk.; 2.316 at the top with a one and a half degree taper to the bottom. The bottom diameter is 2.363. The die is made in two "L" shaped parts following the...

I'm going to a box-end style and am trying to decide what would be the best material to use. I want toughness along with some hardness. We've made one of the spanners out of...

    Wrench material

    What's a good material to make a spanner wrench from. It is for an eight inch nut with lugs and is tightened by striking it with a sledge hammer.
