[AT] BOOO! anyone awake in there?

Larry, most of the iron workers I know call that a "spud".  I don't know 
exactly why.  That's what they use to align flange holes in beams and 
columns.

Charley, I read the posts from you and Mike, and thought that what you need 
is a steel workers wrench. It's a spanner (around 1 1/4") on one end and has 
a tapered solid steel handle on it about 18 inches long. I see them fairly 
often in antique shops.
