What is the name of these ?

(1/2) > >>

ytterligare:
I saw them used sometimes to ease the grip on SMA connector, but, given I'm not native English speaker I have no idea on how to describe them for google searching.

"Plastic hexagonal SMA handler ?"

"SMA nut grip aid ?"

In any case, anyone knows where to get a batch of them, AliExpress or else ?



Ciao

Try googling:

or:
SMA finger spanner
or:

Thanks a lot, it actually worked although all the makers seems to be from the US : a 10 USD package batch with at least 25 USD shipping to EU  :palm:

SMA connector grip seemed to work ok for me.

Plenty that can be 3d printed in tpu.

Ian.M:
Even 3D printed in PLA they'd still be very usable.  If you don't know anyone with a 3D printer try your nearest makerspace.

Also the SMA nut is 5/16" which is only 0.8% smaller than 8mm, so something like this from Amazon would probably do if you only need one for your toolbox, if you have room to use the length of it + a handle.  The slotted nut driver style is very much preferable if there isn't plenty of flat panel space all round the SMA connector.
