wrench extension Explanation: Certainly nothing to do with keys - the Norwegian fastnøkkel, skiftenøkkel, sekskantnøkkel are wrenches. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2007-12-21 01:14:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The wrench extension bar has the effect of magnifying the torque applied on what is being twisted. When a gas cylinder cannot be opened by normal force, there is usually a darn good reason. Quadrupling that force may twist the valve right off rather than just open. Trust me - you don't want to be there when it happens. If it's just air, you might escape with a bad scare. If it's flammable gas, you're toast.
