I made this because I didn't have the proper tool available, and needed some more grip to loosen some large hex nuts holding the crosstube barbs of a BlueBoat. The internal nuts (inside the hulls) are in quite a confined space, and my fingers were slipping off while trying to remove them.

I printed this in PLA with 4 outer perimeters, 4 top and bottom layers, and 40% gyroid infill. It ended up flexing more than I'd like, but it did the trick. Uploading on the off chance someone else happens to be in a similar predicament.

Due to a poor calliper measurement I designed this as though the nut was 42.33mm (1⅔"), but the effect is marginal on a nut this size. The nut size is one of the constraints in the FreeCAD file, so can be modified if relevant.
