Thanks
I didn't have any need for this tool when those threads were created. Now that I do, several of them appear in the first page of search results. Assuming the order in which they appear depends on the search terms entered by people who need the information, which threads would you have...
Thanks - I doubt this is the solution though. The OP was seeking to drive awkward-to-reach spindles from above, not from the side, and I believe they are referring to a profile with two narrower flats and two wider rounded sides which a square closed spanner would not grip.
"a tool that justs sits over the spindle of the valves instead of a wrench" is a 3/8in-square-drive 'universal socket' 7mm-19mm. This is a socket filled with sprung pins to grip various sized nuts, the pins completely filling the aperture; the 9mm-21mm version with pins that leave gaps does NOT...
The spindle you describe could probably be gripped and driven successfully by a 3/8in-square-drive 'universal socket' 7mm-19mm, a socket filled with sprung pins to grip various sized nuts. This size has the socket aperture completely filled by the pins; the 9mm-21mm version with pins that leave...
Also amazed there appears to be no specific tool, I find the spindle can be gripped and driven very successfully with a 3/8in-square-drive 'universal socket' 7mm-19mm. This is a socket filled with sprung pins to grip various sized nuts, the pins completely filling the aperture; the 9mm-21mm...
With the cap removed, the spindle can be gripped and driven very successfully with a 3/8in-square-drive 'universal socket' 7mm-19mm. This is a socket filled with sprung pins to grip various sized nuts, the pins completely filling the aperture; the 9mm-21mm version with pins that leave gaps does...
There does not appear to be a specific tool for the spindle in your photo (two flats and two rounds), despite it being a common fitting which is sometimes inaccessible to pliers or a spanner. The 3/8in-square-drive 'universal socket' 7mm-19mm, a socket filled with sprung pins to grip various...
