I have seen a few videos showing a blacksmith making bottle openers from open end wrenches so I bought a handful at a garage sale.
Some are chrome or nickel plated and some are not plated.
How safe (unsafe ?) is it to burn the plating off.
Is there a safe way to dissolve it off. I don't want to mess around with muriatic, sulfuric, nitric, etc, etc
Or should I just use the plated ones to add ballast to my toolbox ?
