I wear my picks out on the end of my fingers, which makes it hard to grasp the wrench without my picks falling off. So, about 20 years ago, as evident by the corrosion, I modified my wrench so I could turn it with part of fingers above picks. It don't look like much, but it works the way I want. Very Happy
I realize that some folks use the left hand for turning the wrench but that just doesn't feel comfortable to me.

Hi Ken,
I used this same wrench for many years and I see where this mod would work...I also wear my picks like you do and I finally settled on something with a larger handle and you may have seen it in the For Sale Section...if you'd like to try it, just let me know and I'll send one to you...if it doesn't work for you, send it back.
