Stupid tool question

[Tom]

For the life of me, I can't think of a name because I get blocked at 'chainring bolt tool'. It's basically the exact same thing to install the threaded hollow shaft that pulls together a sink strainer basket assembly. Think of a chainring bolt that is a half an inch in outer diameter. What the heck to they call what amounts to a really big slotted screwdriver but with a stub in the middle so you don't slide off one side and round it all out or do I just try and find a half inch wide slotted screwdriver?

I'm kind of tempted to try and grind a quarter or something similar to shape and just grab it with a pair of vise grips. I have a Park chainring bolt tool but it is at 90 degrees so that won't work and it's made too well, too hard a temper to straighten.

So I have solutions but it's driving me nuts I can't think of the name for the tool!

I mean, you're not far off if I'm understanding your question correctly. Park calls theirs a "Chainring Nut Wrench".

This is the kind of thing I've seen: Basket Strainer Wrench. Not that?

[Tom]

No. As it turns out I don't even need to machine the quarter, it fits the slot perfectly. That and a pair of vise grips might be the ticket.

Split nut driver?

Split ring plier?

Butter knife?

[Tom]

Butter knife. Unless somebody can come up with a catchy phrase for "vise grips and a quarter".
