Mac S-160 Valve Adjustment Tool

[Bruce Amacker]

This has been out of production for a long time. Does anyone reproduce one similar? Someone should approach mfr's- it shouldn't be that hard to repop. It works great.

I have a couple no-name wrenches, but I've noticed two issues:

1) I will have to re-bend them, because they really don't access the nut well with the large heat exchangers in the way. The dogleg isn't shaped just right.
2) The size and depth of the screwdriver bit isn't a good match to my adjusting studs.

With effort, I could probably make them work. But I have procrastinated and just use the box end wrench/screwdriver/feeler blade method that works well enough. I expect I'd be able to dial it in a little more accurately with the tool holding the stud better.
