Hey Tom,

I think we can solve that problem without the need for a video. Why not just weld or solver solder a 3/8" or 1/2" drive socket to the end of the pin? If that doesn't float your boat, just mill a square pocket in the end of the pin and pick the radii out of the corners with a slotting tool like I did in my Steven's build thread.
