Default Vavle Adjustment Tool making my own, will this work? *pic*

Would this work if i got a regular 10MM deep socket wrench, and just welded a pipe or wrench to the top of it so the top was still open for the screw driver? Would a deepsocket go down far enough on the nut?

well how deep is this socket there are different sizes if you didn't know that (for deep sockets). and as far as i know there shouldn't be any problem for it to go down far enough and fro the handle hitting something no

I made mine, but I had to bend the handle at a 45 for clearance.

to strengthen it, you could slightly drill a hole though the socket so the metal pipe can go inside it

i just purchased the snap on tool for valve adjustments
it has the flat head screw driver for adjustment and the socket around the flat head to tighten up the bolt.

it'd suggest getting that. :thumbup:
