Wing nut turned by claw hammer
If you’ve got a wing nut with a broken wing, it can be difficult to get the leverage needed to loosen or tighten it, not to mention that the broken wing might have dangerously jagged edges. Reader Harrison Bennett suggests a solution: grip the remaining wing in the claw of a hammer and now you’ve got a large, easyto-use handle for turning the wing nut. PM
