Just an observation "bob"

I peruse a number of n/g's, and it is ALWAYS the retards that feel
threatened by my intelligence, and like lemmings come at me as if I am
going to put them out of their misery or something in one of their
suicidal panics.

But as always, I leave them at the cliff's edge, where Nature will
decide when a gust of wind comes along to deliver the Coup de Grace.

Your blind hatred of me is noted. You have a lot of hostility bob.
You have some "issues" that need therapeutic intervention.

Now THAT is the funniest ****ing thing I've read in a long time. Maybe your
true calling is as a comedian.

Your true calling is to spend the rest of eternity in my Killfile,
keeping the other maggots there company.

It'll take a clown like you weeks to figure out how to even use a kill file.

I have a top of the line impulse (why not call it a click type wrench like
everybody else) torque wrench that is now a breaker bar - but I got mine
free from a garbage can at Mosport. Works great - I recently had to undo a
big old nut that had somehow gotten very tight, and needed at least 400
ft/lbs to break loose. a bit of 2" pipe over the handle and Bob's your
uncle....

I ONCE tried using a torque wrench as a breaker bar to loosen a nut. I
now use that torque wrench to only tighten nuts. Breaker bars are cheaper
than torque wrenches, so I now have a couple of breaker bars.

But they don't have ratcheting heads on breaker bars.

Leverage is your friend.

12 pt. sockets aren't enough for leverage choices? I guess a ratcheting
breaker bar would be tops.

OK, I have a confession to make. After covering myself with grease
and oil from my "out of calibration" clicker wrench, I did a web
search for how to DIY recalibrate. Came up with nothing.

So now, it is in the Recycle Bin.

Would I buy a nice 1 incher wratchet wrench today for my wheel lugs!
Used in conjunction with my electronic torque sensor, it is going to
be my "God's Gift to Larry" present if I can get my wife to part with
the money ;-\

We'll be getting back to you on this shortly, if I survive our
*discussion* over scarce dollars. I see that 1 inch ratchet wrench at
Sears and I gloat at it, drooling on my shoes. I must have it, I MUST
HAVE IT !
