Any ideas? I need something to stop the slotted bolt spinning around at the back when trying to remove a nasty chainbolt! I have tried a big screwdriver and all sorts of different body contortions!! What can I use to stop me getting the hammer out??!! 😕

You can always grind the middle bit of a normal screwdriver away to fit.

I always carry the correct tool (basically a piece of bent metal):

Cheers Guys, I had a look at Chain Reaction but their Tools section is about 100 pages long. Shame they dont segment that section so its easier to find. I've had this a couple of times now when looking for something in particular on their site. I like the bent bit of metal idea - now where does the missus keep the family silver 😆

AndyM, cant use my thumb its too soft being a girly southerner 😛
