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.
