Do better chainring bolts exist?

I always find getting chainring bolts tight enough extremely difficult and removing them near impossible, even when I use new steel ones they promptly get wrecked.

Those tools to hold the back of the chainring bolts are crap & dont work for me.

I was wondering if theres something 'better' that exists?

I found this on 'bluequinn's blog.

apparantly fashioned by tommy simpsons mechanic, the countersunk serratted edge means you only need an allen key for installation & removal.

Is anything like this more commonly available?

Must be a case of a bad workman blaming his tools since they seem to work for everyone else I know.

threadlock.

my dura-ace steel single chainring bolts have a serrated edge similar to the pic, but more teeth/less severe.
Mind I have no trouble holding them still with my makeshift chainring bolt tool, an old disk brake pad :)

Use Tiso - 4gms weight.

Use Tissue - 1gms weight.

Fixed!

Dura Ace FTW I only use an allen key

touch of wd0, you gotta jolt the allen key when you're loosening.

That is a freakishly large bolt.
It scares me.

That is a freakishly large gut.
It scares me.

Really?! Well.. thanks for clearing that up. I really thought it was a golf ball wedge in her crack.
I'll sleep easier knowing this isn't the case.
