Water Main Shutoff Tool - 1/2" Drive

thingiverse

I found myself needing to tackle some work on my water line this week and just couldn't get a good angle on the main water shutoff valve with a pair of pliers. A little while spent in a CAD program and seven hours later, out pops this handy little tool. Yes... **seven** hours. I tend to over-engineer everything. This was printed with 70% triangle infill, 2mm walls (5 walls with a 0.4mm nozzle) and 1mm top and bottom (5 layers at 0.2mm layer height). This may be overkill, but I like things to hold up. I used supports, but depending on your printer's bridging abilities, you may not need them. The tool utilizes a 1/2" drive for use with a standard 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar. --- **NOTE** * Due to either a Thingiverse bug or (more likely) shadowbanning, my models no longer show up under the Newest listings. If you want to see more of my models, please be sure to follow me. **If you print this, it would really help if you'd post a Make so that others could find this model**.
