How to restrain the arbor on a circular saw to change the blade

Most circular saws have either a push lever that stops the arbor from spinning or a hole in the rear guard through which you insert a thin round metal object (screwdriver) which will catch on a saw blade tooth to keep it from spinning while you tighten the arbor nut.
Note that many saws have a left-hand thread arbor nut.
