This has probably been covered more than once, and if that is the case, feel free to delete it.

Every spring I set the valve clearances on my Lawnboy/Honda GCV-160 and always find it difficult to hold the adjusting screw. Being the tightwad that I am, and not wanting to drop $35 for a genuine Honda tool I use once a year, I saw someone talk on a motorcycle forum about something they came up with. So here is my Rube Goldberg/Sammy Chung 07708-0030400 valve adjustment wrench B.

I don't have a lot invested, but it works great. A simple drywall screw and a hunk of an old broom handle.

Thanks for the bandwidth. Image

Excellent. nice tip - but I think a mod may move this to the Tool Crib forum... :)
