Chuck Nut Wrench

[MaverickNH]

My mini- lathe has a very narrow gap between the chuck flange and headstock housing, making removal and replacement of the chuck a PITA.i can just hold the nuts between two pointer fingertips to get them started and often drop them.

Is there a wrench that can make getting the nuts on the studs quick and easy?

Tape the nut in the wrench.

Tape the nut in the wrench.

Simple, even if not elegant.

Copy the nut starting features on a handrail bolt wrench, super simple and they work well.
