Default My home made valve adjustment tool...

It's RSX blue (somebody painted it without my permission but it looks good anyways).

EDIT: Yes, I need to cut my fingernails...

looks like it "was" a box end wrench before a vise and 5lb sledge hammer got hold of it

heh, a socket and a screwdriver are all you need...trying to adjust the locknut while keeping the screw in place tends to be futile even with the screw, i find it's easier to take a measurement, loosen the nut and make an adjustment depending on where things need to go (use your judgement, after a few you'll know how much to do by feel), and then tighten, repeat as necessairy...requires no acrobatics, after some pratice you'll get it on the first try most of the time. Interesting tool tho, does it have a lifetime warranty?

Heat is the key. Heat it up and it bends easily...
