handle nut wrench

Post by mark poulson » Wed Nov 29, 2017 8:16 am

I have Lew's, Quantum, and Abu baitcasters.
I currently use either a crescent wrench, or a socket on a screwdriver handle to loosen and tighten my handle nuts.
Is there a handle nut wrench that fits them all, like one with multiple holes in a flat wrench?

We can get a few in to stock. We haven't had many request for them, but it wouldn't hurt to have 2 or 3 on hand.

I bought 2 of these (one for a spare, just in case) and I really like it. It fits really well, the handle is pretty long so torque isn't an issue, and it's comfortable to use. It doesn't mar anodized surfaces either, which is really nice if you have anodized dress up parts.

Well, I remembered I used to have a universal box wrench...one with a med sized hex and a pivoting lever to force the nut against the hex portion, so any hex nut up to a certain size would be engaged and would turn. I probably got it at an old used tool store, The Tool Crib, 50 years ago. And knowing me, I knew I had it somewhere, because I never throw an tools away. :lol:
So I went down into the garage and went through all the drawers and tool boxes, and even my old carpenter's tool belt. Nada.
So I opened up my old work van, and went through all the drawers and tool boxes there, too. Again, nada.
But I did find a 10mm socket and a 1/4" screwdriver drive for it, so I have that to use.
Plus, I found a 10mm box wrench, and an old Quantum multi tool that came with a reel way back when, which also has a 10mm box wrench in it.
Sooo...I'm set. Thanks so much for all the ideas, and for lighting a fire under me to get down there and look!

As soon as the next Hedgehog order arrives, hopefully toward the end of next week, there will be some Trust Wrenches (Ver.3) in stock at The Tackle Trap.
