I built one of those wrenches that Muir shows in his book. My wife keeps it 
in her car so she can get the gas cap off too, as sometimes it doesn't like to 
move. I went one step better than Muir though, as I built mine out of 
stainless steel. : ) He does show the way to construct it, or you can cut it into 3 
sections and weld it (my version is this way).
