On mine the tip for regulating "normal" capstans broke off many years ago so I just ground it smooth and use the other end for the "nut" type of capstans. It fits several different sizes of capstans. =20 dp =20 David M.

I had to grind it to make it fit right. I then taped it to an 8 inch wooden maple stick for a handle & works very well. Low.... Low Tech. I don't hate the hex heads anymore in fact it's easier to manipulate than the usually kind because of the lengthy handle Dale 2.
