Cone Shaped tool For Tightening VGA cables?

Long handle screw driver and glue on the tip. Attach to VGA knob. Wait for glue to set. Turn. Break glue off screwdriver.

Maybe?

These things can be a bitch to turn especially if they are tightened. I can't imagine you're going to get enough torque trying to be grabby with the outside, AND still have room to turn. You'd also only get a 1/4 turn before resetting with anything pliers-like.

edit: oh tighten... Hmm, you only need a couple turns so it doesn't fall out. I'd try the wire nut suggestion.

Heh, I had an uncle that does stuff like this. Weld nuts onto stripped screws and stuff like that. I could see him stripping the plastic on the fasteners, cutting the heads off of some screws and welding or soldering the head onto the cable fastener.

Hot glue in a nut driver would probably do it a little less permanently.

Might as make make it permanent in case he wants to take it off. If he has a dremel he could make a slot for a standard screwdriver pretty easy. I was just saying I could see my uncle welding something for this, because, its just something he would do. Look around for some scrape the just make it work. Heck, I could see him attaching a hook to the tv and securing the cable with a rubber band.

Really he needs to replace the screws in the cable, or replace the cable. Install is one thing, but what about removal?
