maybe @precisionnick can share the tool they suggested for tightening DIN sightglasses back in 2015. I won’t.

Picture below are the oil filter wrench I picked up at St Vinnies, and a decent approximation of a DIN spanner. I used the oil wrench to get the sight-glasses on that PX1 tightened down for my initial pressure test when the PX1 first arrived.

I think it took me another week or two to run into that ($6?) spanner. Which is (pretty close to) the right tool for the job.

looks to be one of these Forestry Spanner Wrench - Double Ended (so not an actual DIN spanner).

if I recall correctly I picked mine up at Pacific Rubber.
