Would this be appropriate to remove radiator vents that can't be screwed off by hand? The metal is smooth, regular wrench gets no leverage

Honestly depends on diameter. These can't go much smaller than three inches. Or at least I've never used it for anything smaller. Just make sure surface is clean and oil/sludge free so it can grip. Might work. Not sure what your taking about.

As long as it isn't oily. I use it for fuel and oil filters on heavy equipment. If they aren't slick it works good. Brake clean helps if it is though.

That special removal tool that you would need is actually visible in the picture of this valve. It is a "C" shaped ring that is next to the copper-colored end and can be slipped on & off from the side. This will be as easy to remove as it was to install, but I doubt that I'll ever have to remove it.

The bolts are recessed, so a wrench won't fit. I'd recommend using a set of metric sockets.

The tool in designed for soft copper and aluminum. If you try to use in the way you described there is a possibility that the tool will get stuck. So it is up to you, Good Luck. Shurail HVAC

Yes it is, but its tricky to do because the bolt they had me put to hold the vent in place is super long so when its at the lowest position, it gets caught on the bolt. There's handles that you pull up and down. I keep a set of oven mitts. To do it. That bolt is an easy fix to get a different one, but i just haven't done it yet.

There are two different versions of this, one with springloaded clips you push back and one with solid plastic clips you need to twist open. Don't do what my wife did with hers and yank it out because pieces of the vent may come too.

If there are no indentations it is a snap off back, not a screw off. Use a knife to pry off the back . You don't need a wrench for that and a wrench would be useless.

I have a rogue so never tried putting in regular car but think would w handle removed. Handle comes on and off fairly easy

From what I see it shouldn't be an issue. It locks down using suction so to remove it all you have to do is pull the tab releasing the suction from your dashboard. The surface of the suction part is a bit sticky, not sure if that will wear out over time or not.

This could be used for that purpose, but turning a bunch of hardware with the various wrenches on this tool might be a pain in the ass. It is a very bulky thing to have to twirl over and over.

Without taking it apart I don't believe so. I finally just gave up on this thing. Really unhappy with the purchase and can't use it at all. I realize I'm the minority. Just not a good experience for me, and not a good buy for what I wanted. I really thing just one of those clip on ones for the vent is a better buy.

The end just unscrews. No tools needed. There is a double gasket seal so it turn a little hard.

It's not quick release, which in my situation would be handy and I could more quickly remove the guard in dry weather. In you're case, though, it sounds like it's what you're looking for. If someone really wanted it, though, all they'd need is an allen key and about a minute to remove a couple screws and it's off.

there are two grip settings. you're probably using the one meant for thicker vents. Rotate the back 90 degrees and use the tighter one.

this can happen if there's no pressure in the system, in that case you really wouldn't need the tool for this purpose, just take it out normally

I think so. I got it just for torquing down the lug nuts. It has enough leverage to remove the lug nuts as well. As far as spark plugs, I think it'll work if you have some various length extensions available, if you need them. It's a long torque wrench, so you'll have plenty of leverage.

Mine didn't have a hydrant wrench. If some earlier our later models did, I'd be very surprised, because the metal is NOT thick enough to take that kind of torque.
