You can use the next size up BSF version.

Try looking under "Garden Tools" for a mole wrench - they're intended for getting moles out of your lawn, but work quite well on rounded nuts.

My wife has a double ended tool just like that, its called a shoe! You can wear it and hammer with it.

Now go get me some hangar line and prop wash. We did send a FNG (no hook Private) to the CQ truck to get grass seed to plant over a trench we filled in; the CQ played along nicely I might add.

Default The perfect tool

And the air force privates were always looking for buckets of prop wash and 50 yards of flight line.
And if anybody got tasked looking for a pair of left handed wire twisters I actually have one.

When you find one, I have the manuals on lambskin vellum bound in four-ring binders.

Sometimes when doing manual labour, my mind wanders back to remember classroom lessons drummed into me by an old master craftsman.

'Fish or cut bait.'
'Use the correct tool correctly.'
'Filbert head screwdrivers for the adjustment rods to the variable volubility control panel.' and,
'Grapple grommets are not to be used as beer coasters.'

Why he thought the last one was important, I'll never know.
