Gemlux Rodholder Wrench
 

Anyone got a Gemlux wrench I could borrow for some bluewater rodholders I'm going to install? I really want to go with the Gemlux design but would like to avoid buying the tool to install them if someone has one.

I have them on my boat and i used a sink drain wrench. its adjustable and worked fine for me although I'm sure the socket is easier. I picked one up at harbor freight for a few dollars.

Kmoose,
I saw this one THT. Guy used a pvc cap.

I have a few temperature probes at my work that have 8" tubes on top of the nuts to tighten similar to this arrangement. I took a socket that fit the hex area and cut it in half. Then added a piece of pipe in-between the two. Kinda made a 12" deep, deep-well socket that would clear the tube that stuck out. Yours would take a large socket but napa will sell large single sockets. A large crows foot may work well too.

Hey Brian, I like that idea !!!

Well, you guys were a little late but I appreciate the enginuative ideas! I sprung for the socket but they will credit me the $75 back if I return it after my install.
