10mm nut hand cover/driver

    Hello all,

    Long story short, my mechanic lost the wee 10mm nut cover thing that holds down the plastic cover for my battery.

    So he fitted a 10mm nut and washer but that means I need a spanner to get access to my battery. I'd like to be able to do it by hand rather than use a spanner.

    Visited Halfords and Homebase and neither had something suitable.

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance.

    Nice one! Thanks for that!

    I was thinking more along the lines of a plastic housing for the nut that would have notches of some kind that would allow for turning. But a wing nut should do the job perfectly.

    If anyone knows what the plastic housing I'm thinking of is called, I'd like to know. Thanks!

    Not your business, he brakes and he must restore the original condition.
