Small stainless steel or copper tubing and a grinder could probably make that tool. Figuring out the right diameter and size of the teeth wouldn't take much either. If you're like me, time is the hardest thing to find.

Somewhere here on the forum, Mole posted a review about a HT and he removed the nut with a tool that slipped over the nut to remove it.
I will see if I can find it.

It was tedious, but I removed and reinstalled one using two small Allen wrenches hooked in the slots. In my case the nut was fairly accessible. YMMV

For some reason I can't find the post but the tool looked like one of these.
For slotted panel nuts

I made my own once upon a time from an old socket and a bench grinder. I have since misplaced that tyool but I have used needle-nosed pliers in the past as well.
I gave up hunting for it, I'll make one too. I got them out and back in, that faceplate is a bit of a pain to get off and I've got other stuff to do, paying stuff. So to the side goes my junk.... again... and again...
But I shall take a socket tomorrow and try that, that's a pretty good idea. That's better than what I was thinking of trying.

I just looked up both on e bay and nothing . All that shows up are spanner wrenches.
go to an older auto parts store n ask for the post wrench for delco distributers on 55 to 63 chevy n gmc 6 cylinder distributers .they are made to tighten the slotted nut where the wire from coil delivers current to condenser. i got a couple i use on several things. think 1 is loaned out rite now too
take the volume knob off a baofeng n see if it fits over the shaft. they fit the slotted nut on their antenna nut. learned that from mikilor. and dont say you dont have a baofanger,i think i gave you 1
Yes, you did give me one. Now, gimme one of dem wrenches too, hahaha. I'll find one, appreciate the tip, I mean ProTip.
