Circuit breaker tightening question

[Charles in SC]

What is a good way to tighten the knerled nuts that hold circuit breakers on without scratching things up. I can not seem to get them tight enough with my fingers.

This worked great on the knurled nuts for my toggle switches:

Thanks! I have seen that and forgotten about it.

Or you could put them on the backside of the panel and the hex nuts showing.

I can just picture someone in the shipping department at Stewart-MacDonald, a Guitar supply company, wondering why they have had four of these in stock, gathering dust for the past three years - and suddenly they have fifty orders for the things!!

VAF strikes again....

Mine came in two days, and wow, what a great little tool - I have lots of toggle switches in three airplanes, and the nuts are always coming loose with vibration - no more!

Stuart-MacDonald is a good place to deal with. As a banjo player/tinkerer I have bought from them many times over the years.
