If you feel you need one for your job. Mc master karr Has them in stock I think. We had them in all our toolboxes at power plant. Yes you can prefab one to do it but if is regular job spend the money and save knuckles

Take a 1/2" 6 point socket and a short piece cut off a 1/2" hex wrench.
Put the two together and go at it.

Hello Mr. Barnum,

I hope you are kidding. In some cases the older Snap-on tools were better than the current issue equivalents. And, for some jobs I prefer Craftsman, and older SK and Proto tools over Snap-on. But when I need a tool that is thinner, stronger, or stiffer, I use a Snap-on. Are Snap-on tools worth what they cost? That is a determination that each customer makes by voting with his(or her) wallet. Either way, I know lots of really smart people that own Snap-on tools, people that are not, as you suggest, "fools"...Al English

Al, I think "P.T." was probably referring to the difference in cost between Neil's suggestion and the "Snap-On" alternative. As far as I can see, Neil's solution is cheap, yet effective and certainly would suffice for occasional use.

Just get a bolt that has a 1/2" head on it and weld a nut on the end to turn with a wrench. Instead of welding you can also jam two nuts together to turn with a wrench or socket.
