Thanks, I'm learning SolidWorks, and this seemed like a good idea!

And also as a wrench

Don't forget noisemaker and attention-grabber (plus anger-venting fodder).

What you guys don't have a paddle to "Encourage" grade nines to deburr?

I broke ours on one of our students...
Which reminds me... I have to make a new one for next year... I think i'll start designing it.

[MattC9]

Its also pretty good at fixing things... just sayin'

Is your model parametric, so that you can drive dimensions for a wrench of any size from a table? Since this is a learning exercise, making the model parametric would be a good goal. Might even lead to useful results, or at least to interesting artistic combinations.



(Ooh, really bad pun.)

Can you recommend how I would go about doing this? I didn't even know this was possible! I had just stuck with a size 22, because taking measurements was easy.

Well, now that you are talking "measurements", please include the size on this beauty. My suggestion......."7/16".
