On September 13, 1870, a patent was granted to Daniel C. Stillson, a steamboat fireman, for a "wrench". Stillson invented the pipe wrench - sometimes called the Stillson pipe wrench. Stillson, suggested to the heating and piping firm Walworth manufacture a design for a wrench that could be used for screwing pipes together. Previously, serrated blacksmith tongs had been used for that purpose. The owner, James Walworth told Stillson to make a prototype and "either twist off the pipe or break the wrench." Stillson's prototype twisted the pipe successfully. His design was then patented and Walworth manufactured the wrench. Stillson was paid about $80,000 in royalties during his lifetime.

The drill size for self tapping screws is the size of the barrel. ie,the bit that forms the body of the screws inside the thread. If you are using 1/8 screws then the body would be about 3/32. If I'm doing an unfamiliar size, I always experiment with 2-3 for best size. -An easier way is to simply use 'drill tipped screws' -These are available at an drywall wholesaler.

What size wrench do you need to take a fan off a 2001 blazer and which way do you turn it?
Try them until one fits, and then turn left. Turn left loosely then to the right tightly.
The current answer is about the best advice you can receive unless you happen to find another 2001 Blazer owner or mechanic who knows the actual size.
Here is a rewording of the current answer.
Take a look at the bolt that holds the fan wheel into place and try to get a general idea of the bolt's head size. Then, grab the wrenches that look like they will fit and start experimenting to find the right sized wrench. What you are looking for is an easy fit onto the bolt without too much play in the wrench. Once you have found the right size wrench you may proceed to loosen the wheel by turning the wrench counter-clockwise. Remember what wrench you used and your job will be a little bit easier when you put it back on.
Hope I helped

Answer: Well, if you don't know which way to turn the wrench, or what size, find a friend or someone who can do the job for you, also to check why you need to remove the " clutch Fan " also check with this person or the dealer if you need the computer re=programmed. When you watch someone, you learn also. Hope this is good advise. Good luck.

There is no single inventor noted for the screwdriver. It was invented in Germany in the late fifteenth century. Strangely enough the screwdriver is obscure and not mentioned in texts even though screws were evident in many applications during this early period.
The following information comes from Witold Rybczynski's book: One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw. ISBN: 0-684-86729-X
The earliest published evidence found by Rybczynski of screws as we know them, threaded, with heads shaped for driving by a tool, and used to fix two work pieces together, is in a manuscript known as The Mediaeval Housebook, thought to be written in southern Germany between 1475 and 1490. This manuscript shows leg irons and manacles fastened with slotted screws.
What kind of a simple machine is a screwdriver?
A screwdriver is a kind of simple machine called a lever, specifically a class one lever. The handle of the screwdriver acts as the effort arm, the shaft as the fulcrum, and the tip as the load arm, allowing you to apply force to turn screws more easily.
A flare wrench, also known as a flare-nut wrench, tube wrench or line wrench is used for gripping the nuts on the ends of tubes (like automotive brake lines and household plumbing). It is similar to a box-end wrench but, instead of encircling the nut completely, it has a narrow opening just wide enough to allow the wrench to fit over the tube. This allows for maximum contact on plumbing nuts, which are typically softer metals and therefore more prone to damage from open-ended wrenches. See images of flare nut wrenches by searching google and see what purchase links pop up. Cheers
