while a tool definitely already exists, the old mantra of "build sh*t" is always better and more fun.

 

I have a few stanley screwdrivers in my tool box that I've notched for various fasteners.  Sure I could have ordered the appropriate tools, but then I wouldn't have been using a bench grinder and throwing sparks all over the danged place!

MacGyver called.  He wants his stuff back.

Guessed it yet



YES its a 3.5mm jack tightener




Works a treat, no more slipping and scratching panels, just make sure the rod sticks out enough to engage the hole in the jack and it can't slip

It is a great idea. Thank you so much for your share. It is my first time to join in the forum, and found it very meaningful.
