[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2031152, member: 711"] Torque specs for one of my (now late) uncles: Tighten until it twists off, then back off a half turn. When I was a kid I saw him twist off a 2 inch pipe at the collar using two 24 inch pipe wrenches. Strong as an ox and half as smart. Actually he was really smart, just not so much in a practical way. Sort of a proto-nerd. I think he would have really related to computers, but he died a little too soon. As for me, my mechanical skills are alive and well, and I still have lots of tools which I seldom use. Probably ought to have a thinning out sale. [/QUOTE]
