My LinQ Knob Tool ain't pretty, but it works well!

[RayBJ]

I remove the RT's rear deck and mount an RT LinQ Rack for multi-day trips. The LinQ knob is too tight for my tender hands, so I used a channel-lock plier in the past and scarred the handle. I discovered a 1 1/2 in PVC pipe fit the dwells of the knob so I notched out a ~1 3/16 in gap ~ 1/2 in deep and drilled a hole to slip a screwdriver thru for leverage. It ain't pretty but it works very well.
