Propane Tank Valve Wrench

I grill a lot where I live and there's an exchange system for tanks everywhere. You get a brand new tank every time, which is great! The only downside is that they use a 400lb gorilla to shut off the valve before it leaves the blue rhino facility. Sometimes even after you crack them open the first time, the valves are still pretty tough. I built this wrench to give you a better grip for opening those stubborn tanks. Magnets on the back let you stick it to your grill anywhere when not in use. Magnet holes are designed for 1/4" diameter x 1/16" thick magnets. The holes are slightly oversized so something thicker can easily fit. I made test pieces and used them on 4 different valve handles. They were all a bit different, but this was the perfect size to work on all of them. If you come across a handle that won't turn, try increasing the scaling by a few percent.
