A tool that can be used to tighten nuts on a long bolt/rod where a socket will not reach, but with the ability to be driven by a drill or a handle.
I have designed this to help put nuts on a long threaded rod for wind turbines with the aide of a drill so that it does not take an absolute age to do.
I've added a handle which could be held between 2 tightened nuts on the bolt instead of using a drill to drive it.
It looks a little basic / utilitarian, but should be able to get the job done.
I have made it so it can take attachments from M4 to M12 sized ISO nuts.
It requires:
- 5 small screws (approx 3.0x10 - Cap head preferable but not necessary)
- 1 M8 skateboard bearing
- 1 or 2 M8 Nuts (4 if using the handle)
- 1 M8 Coach bolt, with a minimum length of 50mm,but long may be better
- A little grease to be applied to the top and bottom rings of the Large gear and on the gear teeth to give a smoother mesh
As for print settings, my only advise would be to have a high i
