Horn adjusting screw

[Jeffrey S.]

Hello All,
What is the right tool outside of a pair of pliers) to use on the multi-point adjusting screw on horns? I have tried 12 point, etc. and nothing seems to fit. Any ideas? I did look at relevent threads and the suggestion was a 1/4" 12 point but that just catches and is really not the right one.

The jury is still out. You may want to give the little bugger a blast with some CRC Freeze-Off first and the 1/4" 12 point may be the closest tool in the box to use.

Rich,
Thanks for the response. That is the thread I was referring to above. The 12 point 1/4" almost fits and it does turn the screw. I was hoping that there was a socket or tool that corresponds with this screw exactly. Why would a manufacturer use a fastener that is designed to be turned in the field that has no tool to do that? Maybe there is but we just haven't found it. Anybody else?
