I needed some extra hands to remove my jib track hardware so I could rebed.
I fashioned this tool to hold the Phillips head end of the bolts while I used my ratchet on the inside to remove the locknuts. It worked!

Nicely done, but wouldn't your autopilot have helped? We call ours, our extra hand. lol

Ingenuity at its best! Having the correct tool is always part of a successful job.
BTW: If the machine screws were cut (as one appears to have been) buy new ones. Using the old ones might lead to an overabundance of foul language!

The best ideas are often the simplest ones! I really like this one!
