What tool for pot nut?
veedub565:
Hi, what tool do I need to undo this potentiometer nut (pic attached)
I tried long nose pliers and they don't really fit too well, plus its very tight.

It’ll likely be a custom tool from the pot manufacturer. But it’s just a pipe with two areas milled off, should you happen to have access to a shop.
Tomorokoshi:
Normally I would use a "circlip" tool. If you do, be careful about the torque, although the tips are usually hardened. There are couple different styles out there.

Methinks you didn’t look at the picture of the nut, because that tool is for hex nuts, which aren’t what’s used here.
