give yourself the finger



Came across a very cool tool:

It's spandex finger glove with a magnetic tip, to hold nuts in hard to
reach places. Cheap too!

Going to find a home in my tool box this week.
I use a little blob of grease for that kind of thing, when I can't
just balance the nut on my finger, or I push it hard enough into my
skin so that it sticks just enough.

Only thing that would have helped doing the plugs on my wife's minivan
would have been to pull the plenum.
That's pretty cool, not so much on the bike but I have several pairs
of needlenose vise grips, some straight and angled tips that work
well. They don't get tired of gripping in awkward places like your
fingers do. I have one job that takes 108 10-24 nylok nuts, all in
tight places, the vise grips and a milwaukee cordless screwdriver
makes it bearable. The screwdriver doesn't have enough torque to
really crossthread them bad. DK
