I have the Snap On tool for them. I originally bought it for BSA and
Triumph clutch nuts but these days I use it to tighten the nuts on
Weaver type rifle scope mounts. Maybe one of these days I'll use it on
my bug...

a cheap 7/16 " socket works great for this, and you can use a 1/4
ratchet or screw driver handle for the handle,.

Looks nice. I would develop it a bit by grinding the sharp end
of the nail round. Not nice to scratch the back or your hand everytime
you go through the tool box.
