Oct 30, 2010 10:16 | #7 Mine is around here somewhere, probably stuck in one of the junk drawers somewhere. I've never used it (I have the older version of the 055XBPRO legs) in the several years now of having the legs. If any of the nuts were to come loose on the legs I figure I'd just go out to the garage and find a real ratchet and socket "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Unknown
