As you just stated Barry, I use a standard 4" long 1/4" drive
socket extension, and then just use my normal adjuster wrench
(square holes to fit the adjuster pins) . Fits right on the end
of the 1/4" extension that you'd normally put into a socket,
with the socket wrench end of the extension on the adjuster pin.
It works simply and beautifully.
It's very easy to tell you've moved the adjuster 90 degrees at a time.

Jeff, by turning the other end of a 1/4 inch drive extension around and
using the end that normally attaches to the ratchet, you can use then fit
this end over the adjuster (not unlike a socket, provided it's not buggered
up). Then you can grab the end of the extension which is easier (and
presumably harder material) than trying to grab the relatively soft
adjuster with a 1/4 inch wrench. Actually, "Big Three" carry spoke
wrenches, which coincidentally are also 1/4 inch wrenches, and make a great
adjuster tool -
