Stuffing Box Wrenches

Those adjustable plumber's trap wrenches are horrible for adjusting the stuffing box. They're bulky and don't fit. The jaws won't stay adjusted. Here are some alternatives:

• Make your own as presented in the Alberg 30 Maintenance Manual
• Adapt a combination wrench as suggested by Bill Hicks
• Use a pump wrench as suggested by Brian Timmins
