little trick to tighten the bands

[Henri56]

Hello, while looking for solutions for my problems I notice that a lot of it is difficult to find the tool to adjust the bands, just solder 2 old sockets, 1 of 8 or 10 in 1/4 in a 13-14 sockets in 3/8 and you can put it on a 1/4 torque wrench, see pictures

They are called female "square drive" or "pipe plug" sockets here in the U.S. My set is 1/4" to 3/8"

Can you get the same items from Amazon that we can?

of course we can buy the same but if we have two old sockets we are saved ;-)

Trying to locate the same socket. Hard to find.

Can’t you just use standard 12 point socket?

Will try, but if a 4 point socket were cheap, I would get one. Seems I was wrong. The so-called pipe plug sockets are abnormally rare and expensive.

I assume it’s because most people just use 12 point on squares. You could also use an allen socket into a regular socket and use the regular sockets drive square on it. You could do that for a few dollars.

Hell, you could stick an actual Allen wrench in a 6 point and use it like the wrench.

Yeah, thanks for your advice!
