Tool porn

Yeah never mind, forgot to have my pills

Add torque wrenches to garage doors and air conditioning units for the hills people are prepared to die on

You forgot shopping cart tokens.

Air con ppcrn? Where?

Maybe I got that one wrong. Could have dreamed it.

Enough of this, someone post a picture of a sexy tool please

Are you soliciting one?

£400 adjustable spanner, ok then

Is that scale in Newton-meters or Foot-pounds?

At that point how do you ascertain friction vs torque?

1. The threads are rough at the microscopic scale
   
2. Rotating the fastener causes the peaks and troughs to ride over one another
   
3. This relative axial movement causes an acoustic excitation of the fastener
   
4. The fastener acts as a band pass filter with a characteristic frequency dependent on the tension
   
5. Following an intensive 11 year period of study at the Sorbonne Institute of Cycleacoustic Phenomena, kimmo is now able to hear this signal and determine the tension directly, irrespective of the tribological conditions.
   

Away from torque wrench chat for a sec, thoughts on the Feedback Sports Cassette Pliers?

Stop teasing with that sexy chat..

If you don't have Kimmo's level of qualifications and experience, you can always use an instrument to measure strain, which can then be converted into stress using Hooke's law

Have a pair of these and would wholeheartedly recommend them. They give a much more secure grip than a chain whip.

Fab, will order. Thank you!

Threads are cut so that all "surfaces" should be in contact.

I've at least picked this up from the mechanical engineers at work.

should be

Yes, should be, if everything is perfect. Nothing is perfect, and commodity fasteners are a really long way from it.

Threads are cut

Also, threads on commodity fasteners are not usually cut, they're rolled. This is a good thing for several reasons, but not for precision.

I believe these are very well reviewed

Yes nothing is perfect but the concept of screwed fasteners is that all the teeth mesh in the bolt and nut to make the connection.

Don't be such an arse.

Don't be such an arse

That's going to be a big change this late in life🙂

Reckon you could stop being a prick though?
