One Wrench~!

Now where did I put that dang 1/2" wrench? This is a very simple fix and in my opinion, worthwhile...

Now screw a handle onto that modified nut and you won't have to hunt for a wrench. That's what I did on my lathe.

Not a bad idea on the carriage lock, it doesn't take much torque although the wrench may be in the way.

THAT'S CHEATING! You can't do that! It's not traditional!

So I need to add a couple or four or five more items to my to-do list...

Make the handle short. As you say, little torque is needed. If the end of the handle is threaded, the handle can replace the set screw.

I have a diminutive Logan with Bed Turret (still inbound), this would be an excellent mod. There are 7 to 9 bolt heads to manipulate in set-ups, some require a few adjustments, before completion.
It's a worthy time, step and labor saver.
