[Hallicrafters] Knurl Nut Wrenches

[Chris Kepus]

Ouch! That hurts!  Thanks for sharing the info.  Hmmmm, what's next?

I wonder if anyone ordered the tools suggested by Greg, WA1KBQ at aol.com":

"Don't order the GC knurled nut tools!! There is no  standard for splines
per inch on decorative knurled panel mounted control nuts  and the spline
count varies quite a bit among different nut manufacturers. If  the spline
spacing on the nut does not match the splines in the collet type tool  the
tool will slip and ruin the appearance of the nut. Camera tool makers make a
nut gripper to grip round nuts which works perfectly for our knurled nuts.
The  example below shows flat tools. Sometimes tools with an angled head are
necessary and they are available out there. I have some made of aluminum
which  work well.
