Here is a cool trick that I actually used at work today to unbolt this mounting plate (too lazy to get up and find correct size wrench)
You can do this with a flat-head bolt and a nut, or just two nuts (👉👉) and something threaded. Adjust the nut position (👉👉) until it’s the right size for the thing you want to unscrew, just like an adjustable wrench, and you can unscrew the thing like normal!
It’s helpful if you don’t have the right size wrench, or don’t have a wrench at all, or if like me you absolutely refuse to get off your ass and go to your toolbox, but something still needs to be unscrewed!
