Puzzle MasterTrick Bolt #1 (2 stars difficulty)

As promised

Great

Good brain teaser!

Interesting puzzle. Thought I had figured it out, but kept getting stuck. Eventually looked up the solution and it turned out I was doing it right. So I went ahead and used some tools to solve it. Turns out the craftsmanship was shotty and that's why I can't solve it by hand. Still can only solve it with a tool because it keeps getting hung up on itself.Good puzzle in concept but needs some quality control.

Great puzzle --- until ---- you put it back together and don't get the threads matched perfectly -- then it becomes worthless.

This is an excellent puzzle or brainteaser.It is very well made and is 3" long and weighs 9.6 ounces.Made of some kind of solid metal and sort of gold or brown in color.It is the type of puzzle you can carry around in your pocket and bring out when with friends.The object seems and looks simple ;as all one has to do is to remove the split ring or washer.The head of the bolt is solidly attached,so it is obvious that somehow the nut has to be removed.It has a difficulty level of 7 out of 10.While it seems it would be simple,getting the nut off is a real challenge;but it can be done. Some brainteasers,especially wire types,can be bent and ruined if too much force is employed;but this one will take and survive all the strength one wants to apply.Here's a little hint;the split washer plays no part in solving it.

As others have said. If the threads are not aligned perfectly when putting back together, it’s over. By hand at least ;)
