Fancy not needed. PM on the way.

If fancy ain't needed... use a grinder!! I coulda built the tool in two pages! :D

Making a wrench
 
If I have the material, I can cut this out of a 3/8" thick piece of aluminum, cut the handle for finger grooves and cover it with a piece of heat shrink w/adhesive inside. Maybe even put a hole in the end for a piece of leather shoelace to hang it up with. Sorry, but no engraving!

No point in making things more complicated than they need be. A pair of pliers works fine.

2 pieces of PVC, a tee and a hacksaw.

Id just solder on a 3" piece of 1/4" copper rod. Should work just take the knobs off so you dont ruin any seals and dont cover the screw hole

Still decent but easier to use.

Oh come now. He obviously needs to just add a hydraulic solenoid to help turn the handle.
That shouldn't be too difficult.

If I had a 1" diameter 1/2" thick aluminum or acrylic disk with a 3/8" wide, 1/4" deep groove cut down the center of one end and a 1/4" hole through the center of the diameter I could attach it to a file handle and it would work great.

Or, you could unscrew the knob and find a bigger knob to screw on. - the post is already designed to accept a knob.

This kind has been workin' for me for a good long time now.

That green hose has a quick disconnect end on it so I can hook up my hose reel real fast to it.
