Knob tool

Has anyone found a place to buy the correct tool to tighten the headlight switch an w/s wiper knob, all the ones I have seen on line are incorrect for our trucks

I could probably make one, but would like to see what's out there to buy

Re: Knob tool

I believe Lisle brand makes one. I have always removed them with needle nose pliers and hand tight on install not to risk cracking dash corners.

Checked out Lisle tool catalog, didn't see one, I'll call Monday, if they are open. May just use the needle nose idea, or buy a piece of brass and make one

Re: Knob tool

I always thought of notching out an old crappy socket, but needlenose pliers always did the trick quickly
