Combined chainring bolt tool

thingiverse

A combined tool built on the VAR PE-35500 (https://www.vartools.com/en/combined-tool-for-chainring-bolts-var-p828.php) foundation proves beneficial for various tasks. However, it does have certain limitations that need to be taken into account. One of the primary issues with this tool is its inability to accommodate nuts that are positioned at a specific angle. In such cases, an actual chainring spanner becomes necessary to perform the task efficiently. A possible solution to this problem would be to increase the throat depth of the tool. Nevertheless, doing so compromises the overall integrity of the device. On the brighter side, consistent use of this combined tool ensures that chainring bolts are installed with perfect alignment. As a result, removal of these bolts becomes much simpler and more straightforward. I plan to consider this project complete unless I encounter any significant issues or damage to my equipment.
