I kinda thought so.

Is it possible to insert the bolt from the other side?

After its wore out some. :)

When they're new the clamp has a flat spot one side of the square bolt head sits against. It's to hold the bolt so you don't need one wrench to hold the head and another wrench to turn the nut.

They're made of soft-ish lead. After tightening/loosening a few times that flat spot wears off, gets rounded off. Then you need 2 wrenches.

After it gets that worn you could put the bolt in the other way but by that time the clamp probably also stretched out to where it can't squeeze the post good anymore.

Notice on his the ends of the clamp (where the bolt is) are either touching or almost touching. After enough uses they'll either just break, or not let it get tight enough to get a good grip on the post.

It started out looking something like this.

Lead is soft and easy to stretch from over tightening or round off that flat spot. They'll all wear out sooner or later.

I hope whoever designed this got a bonus. Fucking brilliant

The only thing that would make it better is if 18/20v batteries were goddamn standardized between brands in interface. I understand each brand has its own charger eccentricities and chemistries, but voltage output is voltage output, and on the tool theres no reason the mechanical interface cant be the same across brands
