Ignition Wrenches
So I may be so old that something called ignition wrenches were a thing back, well, way back then... How do we adjust carburetor linkage, or in my case, MFI linkage these days? I'd rather not use a crescent wrench or heaven forbid a vice-grip, and sockets don't work so what are folks using?

Thanks! I'll take a factor of twenty less most days. I'm assuming I'll find the right factional to fit.
