How to cope with the bolt on 17, if the key is only 19?

Spending quite a lot of time in the garage for the repair and maintenance of both their own and customer cars, often have to be applied in practice rather unusual ways that often help out in the performance of certain tasks.

Today I will try to bring to readers the way which quite often used earlier when at hand there was no necessary tool. So, let's say that you have the task to Unscrew the bolt key 17, but you can not find it, and at hand only 19 mm. What to do in such a situation?

A proven method that really works

Agree that the situation is quite common when it is necessary key at hand is not. But if you have a key larger in size, with it without any problems you can cope with a bolt or nut.

To do this, you will need the key itself, in our case 19 and a flat screwdriver. The key is set on the nut or bolt, and the screwdriver is inserted into the gap between the two parts. If someone does not understand the essence, then below this process is clearly shown in the photo:

It is worth noting that the screwdriver must be inserted until the gap is minimal. Do not act abruptly, otherwise you can disrupt the face and then have to look for a completely different tool, which has a completely different purpose.

Also, keep in mind that at much stuck to the coupling, the better to look after all the key of the desired size, such as homemade is unlikely to be able to cope with such a difficult task. If you want to take a risk, then you need to do it with extreme caution, so as not to damage any tool or face.
