No need here either. I always use a 1" pen ended wrench. Save the $ and buy a specialized tool that removes Holley jets like Moroso and others sell. Over time, using a regular screwdriver will peen or burr up the slotted edges of jets, especially if one changes them regularly at the track. Wish I had one long ago...I'd still have a lotta jets that got messed up! http://compare.ebay.com/like/140556117532?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbarSome day....you'll thank me...LOL!
I see you've already made your decision, no problem with that, I also just use an open end wrench. I did have a friend turn me on to a "thin" 1" open end a few years ago that comes in handy for removing the fuel inlet fittings on a center pivot float bowl. Each end opens at a different angle. Just in case you're looking to add to the tool collection some day. I believe mine was made by MAC. It also works well for the power valves. One other tip - leave the metering block gasket on while you remove the power valve. It will keep you from accidentily damaging the small raised surface on the metering block especially where the fuel transfers to the accelerator discharge nozzle.

I have a fuel inlet wrench that I bought from Summit Raciing. I would not be with out it for that purpose. I just ran out to the shop and tried it on the power valve. It works perfect! Thank you very much! Here is what I have:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SME-906010/Half the price of the power valve wrench and serves dual purpose. Thanks again!
