🔌 Function

A workshop tool used to hold, support or draw off a component during a dismantling or assembly operation so the job can be done without damaging the parts.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Engagement faces rounded off, worn or spread so the tool no longer grips squarely
• The tool slipping under load, or marking, burring and distorting the component it is meant to hold
• Bending, twisting or cracking of the tool body, or an elongated or splayed drive hole

🛠️ Service Notes

• A counterhold is a holding tool: it takes the reaction load while a fastener is tightened or released, so that the torque never passes through the gears, bearings or shaft it would otherwise damage
• Engage it fully and squarely on the component it is made for before any load is applied — a partly engaged holder slips and marks or distorts the part
• Load it only in the direction it is designed to resist, and keep hands and body clear of the arc it will travel if it lets go
• Use it as part of the procedure it belongs to rather than improvising: a bar through a coupling, a screwdriver in the gear teeth or an impact gun is not a substitute for the correct counterhold
• Keep it clean, lightly oiled and undamaged in storage, and take it out of service if it is bent, cracked or its engagement faces have worn round
