The non business end of my spindle has a small hole in it. It seemed a no-brainer to use this for locking a wrenching implement of some sort to the spindle in order to hold it still while chucks are broken free of their cling to the spindle thread.
At first i thought of something like a pin spanner wrench. But went with the pictured design because it was easier to make and i think has less potential to damage the spindle?
Haven't seen this done, so thought i'd post it for those who might be battling to find a way to 'get a grip' on that spindle. And maybe save some gear teeth.

The pin is the shaft of a drill bit. Pro tip : make sure that pin is short enough to clear the reversing gears when you forget that the tool is insralled and spin the spindle. (ie, don't use a full drill bit)
