I saw John (54bullseys) had a buddy make him a socket wrench for penn handle nuts. Is that a thing? It sure would be a handy item. Anybody sell those? Making one is completely out of my wheel house. Thanks Sheridan
Sheridan,
I noticed that too, beautiful tool! 8)
I need 2 of them. 1 for each size Penn Handle Nut. I'm sure that I know people that would also want them.

I would want one for sure .............. in each size. This would be a great project for someone.
Cheers:
Todd
I want one of each size too!

I just use the wrench that comes with the reel or my AT wrench. But being a tool ho as well as a tackle ho means I should get one if they become available!

I would have laughed if it was anyone but you. Does look convenient and quicker than rummaging through a tray of nut drivers and sockets for something simple.

Sort of reminds me of the pinclock in my shop.
I have thought about a socket for the cranknuts...
But for me, the problem is that the socket hides the nut.
Generally, after a service, these start easily enough with just my fingers — the threads are soft chrome over brass and short anyway — and I can use the wrench to get the groove lined up for the keeper screw first time.
For removing the nuts, a socket may be better.
But I always go back to Gomer Pyle tightening my wheel lugs with an impact gun.
Not that big of a deal for me, but I still like the idea of a socket for removing the nuts. As long as no damage occurs to the nut or the handle blade.
Best,
Fred

I was talking to Alan about asking Tom to machine a bunch of flip sockets (one side is smaller nut, the other side is larger), but after further discussion, it would be cost prohibitive and would not make much sense.
