Re:

Or just man up.. but fore realz you could just buy replacment nutz that are the same size??

If the pin on the wrench fits in the hole of the nut.....just use one of the holes in the nut and scotch the other pin against the o.d. of the nut.

Tell me what kind you have or post a picture with a tape measure beside it and I can probably get you the right one. We have a large box full of spanner wrenches for grinders at work. Just buy a Metabo and never need one again.

I know your anal OCD self won't be happy with a universal/ adjustable one, I'm the same way.

Safety Tip: Wire tie your spanner wrench to the cord right at the plug. This way you ALWAYS unplug it to swap disks.

Back to the topic!

Yep! Works every time!

Actually I think the universal is prefect and I'm going to buy like 10 of them to place around the shop.

This dewalt that I just got has a spanner wrench as well as a spot to use an allen wrench to tighten or loosen the wheel.

Please take video and report back.

I've tried that lock button method at work it locks down pretty hard if you can get it to lock! Prob pretty bad on the locking mechanism and whatever it goes into!

EsPowell · Jan 31, 2016

That method wears the pin out very quickly. Guys at work are bad about doing that and then it's really freaking hard to get the wheels off. The pin gets worn to a point and acts like a ramp instead of a lock. If you've ever pulled a grinder apart you'll understand what I'm trying to say

Most of the time I can take them off by hand because I don't tighten the hell out of it.but when I can't get it I use the lock button while spinning method!! This last grinder I bought a little over a year ago and have used it for my entire buggy build and it's still going strong..
