1174 forum posts 303 photos	Here’s a angle grinder nut disassembled for your perusal i have quite a few of these as i never seem to be able to find a peg spanner…these nuts work great …tighten as tight as you wish by hand use the tool for ages then when you want to change the disc the nut comes loose easily by hand Edited By Ian Parkin on 18/09/2021 11:42:57

2805 forum posts 219 photos	My Bosch angle grinders have been retro-fitted with FIXTEC brand tool-free nuts which may be similar to the OP's; they do, however, have a flip-up half-moon feature which I don't see in the photo. Long term users of the Tormek wet grinder will know that their original nuts had to be hammered tight but later models feature an ingenious two-start left hand threaded nut which is easily removed by hand.
