No, this is not about losing my temper while adjusting the valves. is about getting "temper"

I made valve adjusting wrenches out of a couple of chepo 14 mms using a "real" set as a templet. Used the torch to get the bends right and 3/8 pipe handles welded on. Cut the box end off, flattened the end of the pipe a taste so the cut off end would fit into the pipe and welded it.

Anyway my question is how should they be tempered,? A friend said heat them up again and dump them in oil??

This was a fairly easy job taking less then an hour but then I haven,t tried them out yet either.
