Alathon Nut Wrench

Leather nuts are fine for the purist, but if you need to use the new plastic Alathon nuts, you will need a wrench
to turn them quickly. This wrench was made from a piece of steel tube 3/8" OD by .035" wall thickness,
and is designed to chuck up in a hand drill for fast spinning.
Four slots are placed to grab the tabs on each nut. The slots are opened a little at the end to allow the tabs
to center more easily as you push the nut in.
