If it will pressure-test to...say...100 - 125 psi (which you can probably pump into it with a good-sized bicycle pump), and not leak, I'd think it would be good to go...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040486715126429420.post-45825871639961229722010-07-22T12:46:52.413-05:002010-07-22T12:46:52.413-05:00It's a round die, or I'd have already wres...It's a round die, or I'd have already wrestled it with a wrench.

A hex die you can just n...Is the die round or hex?<br /><br />A hex die you can just nestle into a wrench.<br /><br />A round die...huh. I've got ideas, but they all basically boil down to "fabricate your own handle".TJIChttp://tjic.comnoreply@blogger.com
