Ever needed to loosen a bolt or nut in an almost impossible place?
Or needed actually TWO wrenches to have a grip on both sides of a bolt&nut when you only have one wrench for a certain nut size?
Here is a simple and easy to make solution.
With these Instant Wingnut adapters, you can turn any normal M3 to M10 bolt or head into a wingnut and apply force with your hands.
Just print the wingnuts you need and drop them in your toolbox.
Or even just leave them in place near your heating radiator, plumbing or wherever you might need a quick and easy way to loosen a bolt or nut.
These wingnuts were designed by me in OpenSCAD.
I have included the .SCAD-file in case you need to adjust the measurements for your particular application. The wingnuts work best if they are a tight fit.
