This is not 4x4 tech. I just need to make a wrench for my water meter, my shutoff nothing illegal.

They're lke $10. I got scrap. Can I use one of those funky fenceposts, the T shaped ones with nipples on it? Are they suitable for MIG welding with gas and wire?

Ive welded some wheels to them to make hose hangers, work fine.

Right on man, thanks. Call me cheap and lazy, but I don't want to waste 20 mintes and $4 worth of my precious wire wheel to find out. :laughing:
