Why not just melt down those used lead hammers and recast them?

I find that for routine maintenance I have to remove the wheels from my
snake far more often than I do for my other cars.  XKs Unlimited sells a
wrench for eared knock-offs for $30 I'm thinking about ordering.  I'm
wondering if anyone on the list has one, and if so what you think of it.

have the plans for and was thinking about making.

One concern I have is whether or not my knock-offs ('64 AC Cobra) are
the same size as Jag knock-offs.  The ears on Jag knock-offs project at
opposite angles from mine, but I'm guessing I could just flip the wrench
over.  I plan to call and ask about this before ordering, but if the
consensus is that these wrenches are worthless, I won't bother.  I
have a lead knock-off hammer, but they don't last very long (I'm
on my 3rd one) and after making a mess of my original knock-offs with a
copper hammer, I don't want to go that route, either.  Beside, a
wrench seems like a painless way to go to me.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,

Roland
