I removed the hand crank and reinstalled the nut that holds the crank onto

What prevents the nut from unscrewing when you drive it CCW?
I cut off the socket end of a 3 inch long 1/2 inch drive extension. I
milled 3 flats on the cut off end of the extension. This could also be done
by grinding, it just wouldn't look quite as professional.
You know you can buy a hex to square drive adapter for a few bucks.
You can also buy hex to socket adapters for the particular nut you have.
I have many of both kinds in my tool box. Why make your own?
