It was modeled from a real socket wrench, and that's what I made it look like. I doubt the Allies are going to give the Mechanics a poor tool that can't bolt armor back onto a tank to get it back into action.

Let's revisit my points, as they apply to the picture:

1 - The socket wrench in the picture clearly has a rounded head. Your model is pointed.

2 - The grip in that picture covers about half the length of the shaft. The grip in your model only covers about 2/5 of the shaft.

3 - The wrench pictured has a rubber grip, but I contend that it is unrealistic to use that wrench as your model. The wrench in the picture is too modern for RA, and I think it wastes too much rubber for it to be used in wartime.

4 - Again, the model you're using is much too new to fit into the RA universe. I'm merely telling you what a wrench of that era should look like, because your model is inappropriately modern.

Also, Sir Phoenixx, isn't the premise of RA that someone went back in time and killed Hitler, so WWII (vs. the Germans) never happened, but then WWII happened in the '60s vs the Soviets instead?

Sir Phoenixx

Wartime necessity became the impetus for the emergence of synthetic rubber on a large-scale basis when governments began building plants to offset natural rubber shortages.

Since WWII never happened, this impetus never happened. Synthetic rubber would not emerge on a large scale until after the RA version of WWII. So during RA, there would still be rubber shortages.
