minus-squareFireRetardant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 months agoScrew the screw through a small scrap of wood then insert as shown in the image. Add sharpie arrow if desired.
minus-squarestylusmobilus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoYeah nah I mean when they use it. Can they just turn it with their finger or do they need pliers or a screwdriver to help? Edited: I realised you weren’t OP then changed you to they
minus-squareFireRetardant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 months agoI recommended my solution to make it easier to turn, no idea what OP’s results are. Although my solution has too much potential to be too functional and thus procrastinate installing the new knob until it becomes lost.
minus-squarestylusmobilus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoI can’t imagine I’d turn that real easily with my fingers as it stands, I’d need pliers I reckon.
