Does anyone know where to buy the tool used to tighten and torque this nut?

So you HAVE a "torque spec" for that nut?

That is typically a "Pipe wrench and two grunts" for me.

Even if you HAD the proper torque spec, how would you measure it? DO you have a 12" deep socket that can fit over the strut shaft?
Or a Giant crow's foot?
Some people overthink everything (I am usually one of those people :-)
