Good evening out there.

Just a curio. I know its not good to overtighten things, but I was wondering how many of you guys out there stick to useing one of those there Torque

wrench things. I hav'nt got one and I used a friends one recently under guidance but it really hurt my head converting the thing.

Cheers

Just to be different I will say a torque wrench is not essential for tightening up your nuts/bolts, its good to have one, but its sometimes better to just nip them up by feel, if you know what your doing. I have in the past stripped a thread using a torque wrench that was set to the correct pressure.
