    I've seen tools like this but have no idea of what they 
are called. However, it seems to me you could make on from a 
length of tubing the right diameter by filing the end to 
form teeth to fit the slots.  I've also seen wrenches using 
pins which fitted into holes or slots on a nut.  There is a 
tool like that for the Hewlett-Packard 608 series generators 
that fits the cap holding the pencil tubes down. Again, I 
think not too difficult to make.
