I didn't need a torch. I just locked the wrench in my vise and used a pipe to bend it. It was a cheap wrench, but it dosen't require a really high quality one. It took 10 minutes to complete the transformation.

Maybe you could torch in a LS motor...then you wouldn't need a special tool

The wrench was placed about 1 1/2 inches from the end. The open end side of it was covered by the vise clamps with the handle sticking out. It won't change the size of the opening. The wrench should be in the vise right where you want it to bend. Kinda hard to splain it.
