[TowerTalk] liberating aluminum

[FireBrick]

I've had success with the larger tubes using those 'strap wrenches' you see on advertised 
on TV occasionally.

But I bought the higher quality type from a plumbing supply house.
And they won't scratch/gouge the surface.

A little soaking with penetrating oil and a 'controlled' force on opposing wrenches.

They won't work on the smaller diameter tubes, not enough surface area.


BTW, when adjusting a mast for proper direction, these are great as they can be left 
around the mast while tightening the clamp bolts.

they also make a good 'Armstrong Rotator handle' for Field day antennas.
