    I second the comment on the Seaport socket. It has moulded rubber to protect the three ears of the spinner and is 3/4" drive. I use a three foot torque wrench and a short 3/4" extension to lock down my Borranis.

    Do an advanced search using the keywords "ultimate", "knock-off", and "tool". At the bottom of the advanced search page, click on "posts", not "threads". You will find a post by Gregg Blue that tells how to make one yourself very simply and cheaply, as well as a photo.
    I made one just like that and it works fine. Total cost: about $30 for the socket and the cost of the 3/4" breaker bar.
    Good Luck!
