Next message: Southwinds Editor: "Re: point of no return was RE: lv-ab: the answer?"
I had an advertiser who makes one that solves all the problems you confront
on this, and they designed it for a winch (Winch Buddy) but I thought the
price was high at a $1000 although I understand it was designed and built to
high standards for the job and water environment, although I thought you
could be 3-4 cordless ones like you have for the same price. If you had an
impact-like adjustment like on a screw gun, but in reverse, it might solve
the problem, but I await your findings after welding it on.
I was in construction for many years and periodically used what I called the
emergency lock washer when I didn't have one: Just take some
pliers/visegrips and screw up the threads so a nut can't easily come off,
although if it breaks the screw, that might no work as my method still
allows you to remove the nut with some wrenches. It just can't come loose on
its own or real easily.
