@aircooled - Bruce, if you can stretch the threads on a stub shaft, remind me not to shake your hand (for fear of being crushed).

400 lb ft isn't gonna do it. I know this from experience.

Every time I climb up on the scale, it's like roulette - round and round she goes - where she stops, no one knows. Let's call it an even 250 lbs of rippling romance. I don't lube the threads, but they aren't "rusty dry" either. Me standing on the end of an 24" breaker bar is 500 lbs, but that would require balance I don't have, so let's just call it 400 lb ft. I bounce a little, and then go to the next hole.

I've used a hitch-pin forever. It looks like you care when you use one.

I continue to contend that a torque wrench is for assembling an engine. I'll not be using them a bunch of places elsewhere. You get a feel for fasteners. My engineer son uses a torque wrench to tighten his lug-nuts on a Ram 1500.

I can't imagine.

I use a certain number of "ugga-duggas" on the air impact wrench LOL!
