A counterweight tool comprising an attachment element, a lever arm, a weight element, a first locking mechanism, and a first crane connection point. The attachment element being arranged to be attachable to a component of a wind turbine. The lever arm is pivotably connected to the attachment element about a pivot point, said lever arm being pivotable between a first position where the lever arm is arranged at a first angle with respect to the attachment element and a second position where the lever arm is arranged at a second angle with respect to the attachment element, the difference between the first and second angles being greater than (25) degrees. The weight element is attached to the lever arm at a distance from the pivot point, the first locking mechanism being arranged to lock the position of the lever arm with respect to the attachment element in the second position. The first crane connection point being arranged such that when a crane lifts the counterweight tool, by the first crane connection point, the lever arm will be arranged at an angle to the vertical of less than (30) degrees and when the attachment element is fixed in position relative to the crane then lifting or lowering by the crane via the first crane connection point will cause the lever arm to pivot about the pivot point from the first position to the second position.
