Tool of the month

Loosening nuts attached to things that turn is a problem (maybe philosophically as well as physically) requiring ingenuity or special tools. Or a Motion-pro Universal Clutch Holding Tool. It looks like a set of Mole Grips with a bend in the jaws. These can be adjusted to grip the ridges on a clutch centre allowing the retaining nut to be turned. They’re one of those tools that you’re delighted to remember that you own. Priced around £25 depending on supplier. motionpro.com
