Tightening locknuts with hammer and screwdriver-dog rough or not?

[Mike Johnson]

I think the question to ask is "why can't you get the right tool near the locknut", is it because your drilled the holes too close together, or the enclosure is too small, or as I said in a previous post I can't believe that a manufacturer would put an enclosure on the market with knockouts without thinking this through, or is everyone going to blame a previous muppet.

This thread is as circular as the lock huts

Edit: autocorrect strikes again. Lock NUTS !

My locknuts have flats on them, so a bit like fort knox.

my local housing association has flats, making a fortune from rent and leasehold charges. fleet of new Transits every 2 years. and you should see the bodged repairs. broken timber purlin repaired with a couple of coachbolts. no support. disabled ramp that nobody can use. ( this eventually was demolished following a water supplly leak they'd built it over.) almost on a par with the council taking 14 weeks to fill a pothole after it was reported dangerous and several cars damaged.

You can buy a cream for that

A locknut without flats is a lock ring.

That’s L. O. C. K ring….. before autocorrect gets there.

Good idea clarifying this. Don't want people looking for those pretend mock rings.

Well spotted there!
Don't want any cockups here.

I'm not so sure. I work away from home a lot
