Which one? I'm happy to measure whatever, or show a pic of tool as in-use.
Or if you want to take the kids to the beach and borrow them a few days.


The real crank tool has a handle attatched in such a way it is at or near ( I never had one) TDC while self holding against the fan bracket. I keep going back and fort about cutting that bracket off for an e-fan, so wasn't too worried. A wrench or vice grip on the cam makes it easy to watch and see if you've accidentally rotated something while using it.

Nice detail on the pictures! Thanks.
Its standard black plumbing pipe, I forgot which size.
It is without question stout enough. With a 36" handle, it's not even too hard to hold.
