Default Re: installing wheel weights conveniently

I've thought about this issue too, but as of yet, haven't come up with a good idea of how to make a device to hold the weights. What I'm thinking of is to use a modified motorcycle jack with some mini-pallet forks on it and maybe bolts to go through the unused bolt holes on the weight.

To install the 60 lb weights on my 2520, I just support them on my knees while I align the bolts and holes, and tighten up the nuts. It is a little bit of a pain.

To keep from scratching up the wheels, I put a piece of duct tape over each of the points where the weights contact the wheels, although, I'm sure that, over time, this will still wear through the paint.
