As you wish David:
You can jerry-rig such a tool with 2 nuts and a threaded bolt... probably
about 50 cents.
You can make one for much cheaper at Home Depot. Find a standard sized nut
that fits a 17mm socket. Buy 2 or 3 of them and thread them all onto a
threaded bolt. Throw that into your bike tool kit with a ratchet and 17mm
socket. If you need it, insert the nut into the axle and a 17mm socket over
the "bolt head" end. Cheap easy, effective, and portable. Here's a version
of a long one...but it's for fork tubes - look at the nutted end to see what
I'm talking about:

On this one, a 5/8 inch nut has an outside measurement that almost exactly
fits a 24mm allenhead socket....for your tool, the nut would be smaller...
