Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps.

Cheater bars are appropriately named, especially when it comes to tightening tool holders.

And while these makeshift wrenches may make tightening or loosening holders easier, the damage they can cause is often overlooked.
