I thought that sharing this idea might be of some help to other Ray Tech Tumble Vibe users. --Soon after starting to use mine I was frustrated at having to turn those rubber lock nuts up the long threaded shaft time and time again as I went from process to process. = I solved the problem this way: I took a two inch length of 5/8 clear plastic hose. Into one end of the hose I use epoxy to cement the HEAD end of a 3.8 bolt I had forced into it, leaving the shank stick out of the hose. I insert that bolt shank into my 3/8 battery driven drill. In the other end of the hose I trimmed an inside taper, making it easy to push down over the top of the rubber nuts. = Now when I want the nuts off I simply push the "hose" length onto the rubber nut and back it off with the drill set in reverse. The nuts can be reattached by using the drill in forward drive. ----JUST BE CAREFUL NOT to let the drill tighten the nut too much or it is difficult to get back off again. Just snug it and check tightness by hand. --Saves a lot of time and frustration.
I'd post a pick but I've never figured out how to do that.
