[Elecraft] Oddball tool question

[BobDobson@aol.com]

All:

I'm sure one or two of you have encountered this problem.
From time to time, when I embark on a project, I have to
mount a jack of some sort that uses one of those infamous
knurled nuts.  These are found most often on the 3.5 mm
audio jacks and those barrel jacks (or as I prefer to call them,
"The Jacks from Hell because there are so many different
sizes") used for power connections.  Point is, even though I
have the patience of Job when tightening these little jewels
using pliers of the standard or needle-nose variety, I sometimes
end up slipping and (albeit slightly) scarring the panel
beneath.  I hate it when that happens.

Now to my question: Does anyone know of a tool designed
spcifically for tightening/loosening these abominations?

Why they can't just use the old-fashioned hex nut, I'll never
know.  It's on my list of questions to ask the OM of OMs 
once I pass the Pearly Gates (or the other, warmer ones).  :)

Thanks in advance and 73,

Bob  WA4FOM
