Take the tool you already have out to the shop, put it in the vise, and put=
=20
a 90=B0, or near 90=B0 bend in it just above the farthest point that it goes=
=20
into the combination handle. Bend it parallel to the slot so it points=20
straight up or down (as you wish) with the tool on a front pin. You now=20
have a lever with a combination handle grip for spacing, or leave the=20
handle off for turning. I immediately did that to mine many years ago after=
=20
I bought it and fought it once, and it became much more useful after the=20
modification.
