Spinning Nuts On A Threaded Rod

[rgsparber]

Manually spinning a nut down a long piece of threaded rod is not my idea of fun. Here is a way to speed up the task.

Your comments are welcome. All of us are smarter than any one of us.

Thanks,

Rick

Very creative laziness, Rick. (BTW, creative laziness is a good thing; it leads to all kinds of inventive tools and procedures.)

Another approach that I've used is to hold the nut in the vise and chuck the threaded rod in the drill. Since I've never had an occasion to use any rod bigger than 3/8" that works for me.

Reminds me of my powered watch winder using a power screw driver...

Marv,

Thanks for the alternate approach. I always want more than one way to do anything.
