I've had a Schaff # 86 "universal capstan screw regulator" (page 40 of
their current catalog) for 30 years.  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.

     I made one out of a 10mm end wrench.  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

capstan=20
