How big is the one you got? The one I received is about the same size as a permanent markers diameter. Maybe 2" long

Hey Mike,

I got mine, too... roughly the same size as yours.

At first I thought it would be too small as well, but it turns out that the SMALL tapered end is the one that will work. The other end probably has no application for us. Keep in mind it has to get inside of the chrome ring on the bezels. I tested it on my light switch bezel and it worked well.

I bought one too. Anthing that can save time is a good thing in my book.

Sent the seller a link to this thread too, we're good at boosting sales.

Awesome... yeah, the way it was made to be able to put a wrench on it really helped. If it had been smoothe, I'd still be out there twisting away. I've been in contact with this seller and they are Class A, so if anyone wants one of these you can buy with confidence. :thup:

It's better than what I made a few years ago. I took a deep well socket and made two cuts from the end, then a cut from either side, and was left with two nubs that with some filing fit the notches in the bezel. It doesn't look nearly as pretty as this one but I can use a 3/8" drive ratchet on mine. :thup:
