Do screwdrivers come shaped like forks?

[1-800miner]

I have an adjustment nut on the sears table saw fence that is in a recess. It has two screwdriver slots on the face of the nut opposing each other with the bolt passing through them.
Sort of like trying to turn a crown nut from the end with two screwdrivers.

I have tried two screwdrivers, one in each slot but too much flex and the nut is rusted.

Do they make such a tool or do I have to build one?

I could use a pipe and mill the end to leave two blades and heat treat.

One more project that I don't have time for.

There is such a thing, I know exactly what you are talking about. I've seen and used them but can't for the life of me remember the name!

Like this, right:

Use a Dremel type cutoff wheel to cut a slot in the middle, use an impact screw driver, and replace it with a normal screw.

I came across one of these may years ago. I modified a standard screwdriver blade by filing a slot into it, leaving 2 prongs like Dracula's teeth. Screwdriver blades seem to be tough, but fileable, at least the one I chose was.

I've only seen those tools shaped like a pipe with horns on the end.

I've made several but have never hardened one in order to use it. They were generally single use tools.

Your a Home Shop Machinist, I bet you can figure it out. Making a new tool is part of the fun, Post a photo of your results.

If its two pins, they come in security driver sets. I have a couple around the shop. If its two blades as I got the impression I have never seen one.

blades not pins
Alanganes hit on the head.
Now to find the right sized one.

I made a similar tool from a socket wrench. I milled it with carbide and it was tough to cut. I should have roughed out the shape with a cutoff wheel in a grinder. It would have saved a lot of time at the mill.

[1-800miner]

The more I think on it, I think I will sacrifice a nut driver.
Mill the business end to the right shape.
I may need the depth as the male thread may protrude too far for a modified screwdriver.

Yes a deep socket will do the trick.
One more custom tool to put in the custom tool drawer that will never be used again.

If its the style of nut that Alan linked to, then the wrench is a common photographer's tool. Google "lens spanner wrench". You'll see dozens of varieties.

I would just get a garden weeding tool and mod it.

I bought a big cheap ($5) screwdriver to modify exactly like that to fit the nuts that secures the hand wheels to the shafts on my 9" SB lathe's cross slide and compound slide. Easy peasy.
