NUT RETAINER TOOL

Tool for retaining multiple nuts (17, 18, 19) while tightening a respective bolt (14, 15, 16) that is inserted along a respective axial axis (28, 29, 30) into the respective nut (17, 18, 19), in particular during the construction of a wind turbine (1), wherein the tool (20) comprises at least two or at least three retaining components (21, 22, 23), wherein each retaining component (21, 22, 23) is designed to retain a respective nut (17, 18, 19) and has at least two support faces (31-35), wherein each support face (31-35) is designed to support a respective circumferential face (39, 40) of the respective nut (17, 18, 19) that is to be retained by the respective retaining component (21, 22, 23) to limit a rotation of the respective nut (17, 18, 19) around the axial axis (28, 29, 30), wherein each retaining component (21, 22, 23) is locked in a fixed relative position and orientation to at least one neighboring retaining component (21, 22, 30) when at least one locking component (24-27) is in a locking state, wherein the locking component (24-27) can be moved from the locking state or removed from the tool (20) to allow for a relative movement, in particular a pivoting, of at least one pair of the retaining components (21, 22, 23).
