Title: Replacement Caulks Wrench/Socket
Post by: THPtech on March 06, 2008, 07:56:17 AM
I seem to remember running across a caulk socket that fit on a 3/4 rachet. I have a nice wrench but I'm always lookin for trick little things. Does anybody know where I can find one?

Welcome to the forum. Hope you pull up a stump and stick around.  :)

Caulk to me is oozy material shoved into cracks to seal them up.

Not heard of a caulk wrench....but maybe you have something else in mind, or I'm just not tuned in..(dat happens   ;D)

There are many calk wrenches available but I'm not aware of a calk socket for a 1/2 or 3/4 drive ratchet wrench.
3/4 seems a little excessive.

 :D The t-handle is quite adequate.

Well,  if a guy had a lot of caulks to replace, he could cut off the handle of the t-wrench and use it in a 3/8 drill.

beenthere, I think the caulks they're talking about here are the ones that loggers use when working on floating logs.
The key phrase here is "I think"......maybe someone else will clue us in

Wesco's need an odd ball wrench kind of like a socket.  Every one else uses the two pin type.  I had one T handle wrench where the handle would slip off and you could chuck it in a drill.  No more buggered knuckles, I always hated replacing corks.  Too bad i lost both wrenches, I have been suffering with nubs for quite a while.  I really need to find one of those wrenches.  The one with the plastic T handle that comes off is the nicest I have found.

Tillaway,

remember the pound ins? I used to replace some peoples pound in caulks for a 12 pack.Had a last,puller and a driver and used cedar or old shoe lace to shim.My knuckles took a beating when pulling out the old worn out caulks. :)

Paul,
Yep, had a pair of Buffalo Fly-wieghts.  Up until about 2000 or so there was still one old boot shop that was using them down in Roseburg.  Apparently they had quite a stock of them or were making their own.  I never replaced them myself, I sent them to the shop.  About the time I started to shed them it was time for new soles anyway.  I still have the boots rebuilt as corks twice and vibrams twice.  I finally wore threw the leather on the curve by the instep and the boot shop said that was all I could get out of them.  They did patch the hole though.  Anyone want a "slightly" used pair... cheap.  ;D ;)
