For several days I've been looking for an Alan wrench tool to reach four screws 6" deep in the bottom of an electric pressure washer. Everything I had was either too short or the shaft was too large to fit in the narrow shaft to get deep enough to reach the screws.
So today I made the perfect tool.
Everyone has the little hex and star adapters in a kit some where in their tool box. I could not tell the size of the head of the screw so I began cutting a slot in the top of the hex adapters. The third adapter or the 3/32 hex tool fit just fine.
I took a screwdriver with a 6" blade and hot glued it to the slot. I only needed it to unscrew the bottom of the pressure washer and re-screw the screws back in.
It worked!
