Christmas Tree Stand Knob

I've been using my Christmas tree stand for a while now and have found that its four 5/16" (8mm?) threaded rods are perfect for adjusting the tree's position in the stand. The back of each rod is smooth, without any threads, and bends at a 90-degree angle with about a 1-inch tail, making it similar to an Allen wrench. Originally, the stand came with small red plastic covers that fit over the end of each rod, forming a T shape and allowing for easy hand tightening to straighten the tree. However, over time I've lost some of those covers, which makes it challenging to get the stand securely fastened onto the tree without them. That's why I decided to create this new X-handle version that replaces the old ones.
