BitWrench: A Simple Arcade Button Wrench
yotsuya:
You don't like what a vendor's selling, don't buy it. :dunno
SNAAKE:
thats what I did
nice :burgerking:
Glitch:
I've seen people use pliers & channelocks in a pinch, you name it. Even crescent wrenches.
I have a plastic button wrench also, but it doesn't work in all cases. I hated removing the leafs when needing to tighten up palnuts or arrange wiring.
In a close button array, BitWrench won't help much but in simple panel layouts it works perfectly. Same reason applies of how we have swivel or deep sockets in automotive use - the right tool depends on the particular situation. A few local route operators that have been using the BitWrench have been very happy, wondering why someone like this haven't been out sooner. Some cabinets that have buttons come loose in heavy use (think Track & Field or any other type of button-masher game) have an extra stored in the coinbox at all times.
yotsuya: appreciate the kind words, you should have yours in the next day or so. All other orders are ready to ship tomorrow.

WTF... ???
Guarantee this works 1000 times better in button clusters:
Who the ---fudgesicle--- uses pliers to tighten button nuts?

Yeah, I'll take a plastic button wrench. There's no room under my panels to use anything like this.
EDIT: And YES, I will threadcrap, because we get a lot of new people who don't know the proper tools or products they need, so they should see the alternative (better) choice.

It's one thing to mention a similar device- that's not threadcrapping. When PBJ PBJ's, that's threadcrapping.
The OP didn't say "Throw out those old button wrenches, you'll never need them again!!!!1!!". He's offering an alternative. Just because someone doesn't think that idea would work for them doesn't mean people gotta be ---uvulas--- about it.
