Strange coincidence.  In Thursday's snail mail I received a catalog
from www.triple-c.com (what's wrong with this picture? :^)

Anyway, I noticed that they have a metal knock-off wrench for $40.  
Their web site also shows what they call a "protective knock-off 
wrench" for $22.  This nothing more than a metal plate with a hole cut
out for the knock-off.  You place the plate over the knock-off and 
then beat the plate with the hammer.  It's kind of hard to describe, 
go to the URL below to see a picture.  If you have the proper
metal-cutting tools you could make one of these plate things.

Both the tools can be seen at

I have no financial connection to triple-c.com.
