I decided to redesign the broad head wrench I posted a couple days ago. I increased the size slightly, added fins around the top for increased grip while tightening, and I reinforced the hole at the top. This enables you to use an allen key for increased torque, or sticking a key ring on it to hang it from the rest of your gear.

I don't personally own any, so I am not sure. Would love for someone to test it

Awesome. Broadheads are illegal here but nice design and thanks for sharing the model.

Consider me ignorant, but I have never thought about the possibility of broadheads being illegal anywhere. Where are you from?

Bowhunting is illegal in many parts of Europe so broadheads probably go along with that since that's their only purpose.

Probably the Netherlands

They are explicitly mentioned in the weapons law of the Netherlands.  Arrowheads with cutting edges are defined so a weapon. Bows in general are not mentioned but crossbows are but only age restricted.

But there is a general "anything used like a weapon is a weapon" but that would include hockey sticks, bar stools and walking sticks :)

The Netherlands is small and densely populated so hunting is highly restricted and needs permits. Bow hunting would be extremely impractical and dangerous.

THIS is what these communities are for.
