Cool!

while a tool definitely already exists, the old mantra of "build crap" 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.

I couldn't find a tool I needed for love nor money so I set out to make one

Brass tube 9/32" and brass rod 1/8"

Grind and file

Bend the rod

Go mad with heatshrink

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

cheers

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.
