valve wrench length

I snapped two wrenches bending them and made two more. I have one with a longer handle but one is one of the shorter ones. Will this be alright when I get in there? Both shops are out of the 14mm now.

Didn't you heat them first?

You did a good thing. Keeps you knuckles from banging into each other. Hazet actually makes a long and short version of the valve adjusting wrench.

Ha ha, yeah I heated them, but I was impatient. I figure if they make a short version I'll be able to get by then. Hopefully I won't need that third wrnech like some folks...

I'm debating whether just to buy that and wait until next weekend.
