Just for future reference, another thing you can do (that seems not to have
been mentioned) is to get a couple of inches of hex bar stock of the
appropriate size, stick one end in a 1/2" socket and the other in your nut.
This is, in fact. what the "1/2" Hex Socket"[1] really is.
If you couldn't find what you needed at two local places, my humble opinion is
you need better places. These goodies should be a stock item at all decent
tool stores.
