Water Pump Pliers; a.k.a Channel Locks

I just bought a Husky Aluminum 14" Pipe Wrench at Home Depot 3 days ago for $15. I don't if there is room to use one of those.
Also while a lot of Pipe Wrenches are adjustable Wrenches If you ask a Mechanic to barrow an adjustable Wrench He is most likely to give you a Cresent type Wrench.

If you ask a Mechanic to barrow His Water Pump Pliers He is likely to ask you what that is.
I only found out Channel Locks were called Water Pump Pliers when I studied for a Mechanics Test and the Material I studied from was really old material like from the 1940s and 1950s.

The 46mm ATV Wrench or a 46mm Crow/s Foot are 2 tools that you can use to torque the Nut. However both of those Wrenches need to be used a a 90 degree angle to the Torque Wrench; other wise you have to calculat the Torque.
