content: As an aside, and at risk of hijacking my own thread, does anyone know what tool those retaining nuts do up with? Doesn't matter in my case, but curious.

content: they are called shrouded, not shielded, shielded implies some shielding, but this is not..http://www.testpath.com/Categories/Banana-Jacks-Banana-Plugs-2900.htm?Connector(s)=4mm%20Shrouded%20Jack&Style=Panel%20Push-in

content: The tool to tighten them would be a pin driver. Not exactly a common tool. If you are going to be doing up 100 plus I would just make one out of some steel tube using a file and mount it on a sacrificial hex socket.
