Palo Verde provides the following response:

At Palo Verde when we use scaffolding that has the tube and knuckle design we 
have special deep socket wrenches with the socket permanently affixed to the 
handle.  This also has a hammer / mallet on the back side and a whole in the 
handle for a lanyard.

I attached an example picture but if that does not come thru here is a link to 
a website that has a similar product.

Subject: Powernet: Scaffold Wrenches

At Braidwood we use Cuplock scaffold when possible.  Sometimes we must use the 
tube/knuckle though.  When this occurs we assemble the scaffold with standard 
ratchet and knuckle bolts.  We have recently toyed with the wedge locks the 
Canadians use but the timing was not good enough to implement in higher dose 
rate fields.  More work to develop on that one though.

Question:  Does your station use any unique tools to enhance (reduce time) 
during standard scaffold construction?
