It is called a radiator spud wrench, made by Chicago Specialty Co. I thought everyone knew that :-)

Sorry.

    Anyone got any bright ideas or tricks to share? I find that my portable band saw is far better than my sawzall for old pipe removal. Any tricks for brass tailpiece removal from radiators? They always seem to break off. Heat?

    Suprise Torque...

    is what I call it. You engage your spud wrench into the fitting, and snug it against the dogs, apply some pressure, then make a QUICK snap movement, and it breaks it loose.

    You DON'T want to get a running start at it or you are guaranteed to shear off the pawls.

    In the event that all else fails, you get good at doing sawzall surgery...

    Spud wrench

    Is there such a tool to install and remove radiator valves? I have 2 chisels custom modified for the installation and removal. marc
