Strike-Free Leverage Wrenches deliver the torque needed to remove large nuts and bolts without subjecting the user to the safety hazards of striking-face wrenches or requiring access to a power source. The extra leverage required to remove stubborn nuts and screws from 27mm to 80mm in size is produced by attaching a separate 24" or 36" long tubular handle to the end of the appropriate size wrench. Eliminating the need to strike wrenches with a hammer or other object provides a safer, more controlled working environment and removes the possibility of sparking, which can be extremely hazardous in  flammable atmospheres.

Evapo-Rust works through a special selective chelation process, bonding to all iron and mild steel exclusively. It will not harm un-rusted steel and will not clean or damage brass, copper, aluminum, galvanization, rubber, plastic, PVC, Viton, vinyl, clothing, glass and most paints. Evapo-Rust removes the iron molecule selectively from iron oxide but is too weak to remove iron from steel, which protects the underlying steel from attack from chelation. It removes rust quickly, is biodegradable and environmentally safe. It can be disposed of safely into most city sewers.
