This is a different question the what do we have on hand tool wise. This is why I started my first reply with "a well maintained bike". That qualifier means a bike whose crank arm retaining device is properly tightened and kept up with. Outside of some downhill, freestyle/jumping, trials bikes the only time I see crank arms coming loose is when the retaining bolt(S) are not properly tightened on installation and/or not retightened after initial or long term use. Which, BTW, I see often. Andy.
