Summary

I just purchased a series of Nestout equipment from Elecom, and the lamp has a very small key for tightening the neck. It was too tight to use when I got it and immediately had to find a screwdriver to loosen it. Not wanting to repeat this process in the field, I designed this key to fit in the field kit.

It slides on/off with ease and allows to quickly loosen/tighten the neck lock for the lamp.

How I Designed This

Created with TinkerCad

            <div><p>Just took some quick measurements of the head unit, made a hollow section the same size of the key head, and then added a cylinder around the hollowed unit, then added a stretched cylinder for the thumb assist. </p></div>
