Abstract
A tool for holding and applying torque to a nut including a keyway. The tool includes a longitudinal body having a longitudinal axis and a body channel. A longitudinal key is disposed in the body channel with one end of the key configured to engage the keyway of the nut. A first key portion contacts the body channel while a second key portion extends over the body channel forming a gap between the key and the body channel prior to insertion of the key into the keyway of the nut. The second key portion is configured to be resiliently deflected radially inward toward the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal body when the second key portion engages the keyway of the nut.
