Abstract

A self-contained folding wingnut tool for a variety of wingnut applications including percussion instruments. The tool has a hinged clamshell housing with multi-spaced pairs of upstanding wingnut engagement elements aligned to engage and adjustably turn wingnuts of various dimensions therebetween. Each pair of upstanding wingnut engagements form opposing space contoured frictional engagement surfaces for the registration with respective portions of a wingnut, positioned therebetween. The opposing spaced wingnut engagement pairs extend from wingnut engagement portion of the hinged housing inwardly from its free end, so when opened and extended an oppositely disposed portion handle is formed by the opposite housing portion for leverage and enclosure when closed.
