looking for a wrench

[birddog]

Now that you mention it I haven't seen my sizer die wrench for a couple of days either. Have to look around the shop a time or 2 and see what I find.

OOOOOPS! Sorry.

I though you were looking for a WENCH! I was going to suggest checking out some of the local bars and taverns!!!!!!!!

I found mine when I fell off a log drunker than a skunk at a kegger back in college. Haven't been able to get rid of for over 41 years now!!!!!

HA......ha!

You just haven't tryed hard enough yet

Now that I know which nut you need a wrench for.... I have 2 Lyman 450 lubers that I never did have the factory wrenchs for. I used a crescent wrench along with channel lock pliars to remove or install the nut. Then I happened on to the "perfesser" and his version on this type nut wrench. It`s like discovering sliced bread all over again! Pretty sure he makes them for the RCBS lubers, you just need to let him know which one you have.Robert

I had smoke4320 make me a wrench and it works like a charm, guess I will stop looking for a org from RBCS

I added a new LAMII to my bench last fall. No wrench of any kind came with it, not even an allen wrench for the TP screw.

An alternate approach to this problem is to pick up a Lyman die lock nut wrench, like the one that comes with the Lyman 450 and 4500 lube/sizers, and use a Dremel tool and a small file to enlarge each side of the nut opening until it will fit the RCBS die lock nut. Took me about 15-20 minutes to do this and when it fit properly I used buffing wheels on the Dremel to smooth up the opening and then cold blued the altered areas. Works like a charm and looks as if it was OEM!

Wish I'd seen this this morning. I saw a 15/16 combination wrench for $.25 today.

Heck of a deal. I spent $15 for a 15/16" end wrench recently.

My LAM-II didn't come with a wrench; until reading this thread, I didn't even know what size that nut was, since I just use whatever adjustable wrench or channel pliers is closest at hand.

I purchased one of these from Smoke4320. You can't 'crank it down' with great force like a metal wrench, but I don't want it tightened down like that anyway. You can tighten it firm enough that you don't have to worry about it backing out or anything. It is a great way to go and you have have it made in green.
