That looks sort of interesting, but I think it would be more useful
to have hex recesses in the end of a thimble. Even better, would be to have
the thimble magnetized, so you could stick the nut in place and reach
behind/into/around to the place where it goes with the nut on the tip of
your finger rather than on the pad.

...

I'll use a dollop of gun grease as the holder to the finger tip for
small stuff...can still feel the projecting bolt and it keeps it in place.

Or just tape a small "ignition wrench" to your finger if you don't
need to bend it much - -


Perfect! I wonder if they still sell those. I have an old set of
Crapsman combos (very nice) and another old (early/cheap) Japanese set
of open ends which were stamped. Both proved very handy, especially
for distributor point nuts.
