Trying to unscrew 'frozen' tach wingnuts with fingers just wasn't working - so came up with this!
Drill a 'dimple' in a largish bolt, then cut a slot to hold the wings.

I cut a groove in a one inch long piece of 3/8 copper tubing.

Nice, the hex head lets you really apply some torque for those really stuck nuts.

I slotted the end of a 1/4 drive socket. Worked well with a flex shaft driver handle.

Very nice. I just got my wife to loosen mine.
Sorry, I could not help myself.
I hope to post some picture of my dash rebuild soon.
