Fabricate Custom Valve Turning Tool

What happens here

Find a suitable long, rigid piece of material, such as an old roof rack. Take one end of this material and 'squish it down' (likely using a press, hammer, or vise) to create a flattened, elongated opening that can effectively grip the modified, upright ball valve handle. Paint the tool a bright color, such as red, and add reflective tape (e.g., yellow) in a spiral pattern along its length. The paint and reflective tape enhance visibility, making the tool easy to find and use, especially in low-light conditions or when retrieving it from a deep hole.

Goal: A custom long-reach tool is created from a repurposed piece of old roof rack by squishing one end to fit the valve handle, painting it, and adding reflective tape for visibility.
