■ 3/8-in. nut driver or hexagonal-head external drive socket wrench, with a torque
range between 23 lb-in. (2.6 Nm) and 25 lb-in. (2.8 Nm) tightening torque, for
tightening nuts to terminal studs on each power supply (on a DC-powered router)
CAUTION: Do not substitute a metric nut driver or wrench. A tool that does not fit
the nuts exactly can damage them. You must use a 3/8-in. tool.
