3.5 mm Audio Jack Nut Tool

thingiverse

After wrestling with countless 3.5 mm jack nuts while building my own DIY synths, I crafted a specialized screwdriver-like tool designed to streamline the process and save precious time. Unlike using needle-nose pliers or other makeshift solutions, this handy device eliminates the risk of slippage and scratching sensitive panels or marring the nuts. The two small notches on the tool are precision-engineered to align perfectly with the corresponding notches on the nut, resulting in a secure and snug fit that makes quick work of even the most stubborn fasteners. I've found this design to be incredibly effective, allowing me to work efficiently without worrying about damaging my equipment. Both versions of the tool - the thicker, shorter model and its longer, thinner counterpart - have proven to be highly effective, although I personally prefer the shorter version for its added leverage and control.
