3D printed Finger Wrench (digit spanner)

Hi all,

My latest project - 3d printed version of the Finger Wrench.

I like it.  I picked up a set of medical forceps for things like that, but I think I'll scribble one up and print it.  My bowden printer hates TPU but I don't care if it comes out ugly since it will spend it's life hidden in a toolbox.
