I was being facetious .......mine were bought at the Binnacle, a marine
retailer, and not Home Depot.....and they have never slipped off and
skinned my knuclkes.

they're kind of flimsy and probably not the best for breaking loose a
really stubborn jam nut. Regardless of what it’s proper name is I'm
sure you'll quickly come up with many colorful alternatives the first
time it slips off and skins your knuckles.

Oh no....here we go again....'tie bar' versus 'through bolt and
now 'an adjustable packing nut wrench' versus 'an adjustable slip
nut wrench'......I prefer the Home Depot version over West Marine
because of the price.....and I don't really care what the tool is
called.

That's actually a plumbers slip nut wrench and what I used on my
recent repack......worked like a charm.
$3.36 @ Homedepot.

I have two of these on board.....easier to work with than
ordinary pipe wrenches although I have tightened with pipe
wrenches.

On the Buck Algonquin bronze stuffing boxes this works well:

First sail/journey of the year. Bedford to Deep Cove in
Mahoney Bay - approx 50 nautical miles.
Left Bedford Yacht Club and motored out thru Halifax
Barbour, around Chebucto Head and through Samboro
passage - minimal wind and dead on the nose.
Quite pleased with motor overall. I replaced a broken
engine mount and the new one (a generic mount I modified
to fit) was way better. Engine needs to be re-aligned -
hopefully that will decrease vibration even more.
Advice appreciated. I've read about it - difficult?
On arrival my stuffing box was dripping a fair bit.
Little more than 1 drop per second
Tried to tighten but couldn't separate the 2 nuts.
Sprayed a little PB Blaster - but I'll need a second
wrench to counter with rather than spinning whole unit.
Any suggestions? Are locking pliers OK?
