Drill Bit Wingnut

Sorry if this is off subject.



I am looking for a drill but to screw and unscrew wingnuts onto a screw.



Has anyone ever seen one? Where can I find one.



Thanks,

Probably looks something like this?

Now is the time to bring your friendly local lathe owner one small box of donuts and a sample wingnut.

While you are moving and cleaning some of her shop stuff, she can make these in a couple different sizes, if you ask nicely.

If it happens to be for large pattern 1/4" wingnuts, then check anywhere that hurricane shutter accessories are sold.

I make my own by cutting a slot across an appropriately-sized cheap disposable 1/4" socket. Chuck it to the drill with a suitable adapter.

It would look much like the 3/8 drive socket designed to open the drain c*ck on an auto radiator. which I bought for Junior when his fingers proved to tender for the job. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

That is a good idea - a deep socket and just over the round hub size so it will keep centered.

I make some wood ones for my wife out of wood. Maple - drill a hole in the center of a 1.5x1.5 by 3" long stick. The hole matches the round part of the nut and I slot for the wings. She keeps a couple in her sewing kit - counted cross stitch.

The frames need to be clamped tight.

Clamp some rubber or plastic hose on a shaft that fiits your drill, and slot the other end for the wingnut.
