TRF Gear Reduction Starters

A good trick for holding a nut on a wrench that has always worked for me is to get a small piece of paper and double it over to fit on the opening of a box wrench. Then push the nut, with the paper into the wrench. If you have too much paper hanging out, just trim or tear off the excess. It will hold the nut very nicely while you finesse it into position. If the nut seems loose in the box wrench, just add another layer of paper.

Just saw this today at Griots, a magnetic finger glove.

That is brilliant, Mark! I'm gonna try to move this to the "Tools" Forum. If not successful, please post it there.
