Good choice I’d say, but isn’t there a tool that is for just such a fitting?
I can’t remember what they are called, but they have a pin that you insert into the hole and then it has a bearing surface you rest on the fitting and rotate it. If the pin was the same size as the hole, this should work pretty well, but for $10.00… can’t go wrong!
Maybe you could put the bolt portion of it through a plastic or wood “handle”.
Or… maybe not, you might have to encourage it to move with a mallet… any comments on that RC?
Marmotmilitia who is here on the TAG makes these and sells them for around 10 dollars, if your removing your valve it will be the best 10 bucks you ever spent.
His real name is Jim Gaska and he also makes the ETAC and ETACREG
With this wrench , a shop vice and a piece of heavy leather 8×6″ it becomes an easy job.

I think you are referring to a spanner wrench.

I think Jim’s wrench is the way to go, no way it is going to slip off.
