Did you have to mention her? Now she'll be in my head for the rest of the day and I will do nothing else today. I came to this thread hoping to learn something but now I'll waste a whole day.

How is that image a waste of a day?

A man could die happy.

What was this thread about again?

No idea, but lets get back to the torque wrenches,

i do have 5

3 variables 10-40 Ncm
and two fixed at 25 and 35 Ncm

hmmm, however dont think this was a tool box topic,

and anyway Doris wont understand us as we are not talking battery powered tools/toys.

Come on Ceebs - you started the torque wrenches and now we are moving on to battery powered toys

which leads me to the all important question -
shall i go for 6 V (3xAA) or better the 12V variety ???? if i am looking for a valentines present ?

3 * AA = 4.5V

I take it Mrs L doesn't read the forum then?

Why a fixed torque wrench? Something dentisty?

If you don't have a torque wrench, you can use the Grunt scale.

For this the ideal tool length is 10"-you know, one that is just long enough to get four fingers along the length

.

One Grunt=80Nm if applied with a 10" tool.

Therefore a scale of Grunt can be worked out, althought this is non linear:

1/4 Grunt = 40Nm

1/2 Grunt = 60Nm

1 Grunt = 80Nm

2 Grunt = 100Nm

There is also a Ting rating for ratchet spanners. For a 1/4" drive the handle is usually 5", the Ting is about 40-60Nm [1/4 - 1/2 Grunt]. For a 1/2" drive you normally get a Ting at 110Nm on a 8" handle.

The Ting is usually followed by the Swear as you have just buggered up another ratchet spanner.

An ex GF went to an Ann Summers party and was told that if you put the end of the 'ladies toy' on the end of your nose when it is on it should make your eyes water.

And if you are looking for a valentines present you are a bit late...or is Mrs L's name Valentine?

well david

you see the grunt scale is not quite working for us when we screw a patient ( i maent this literaturely not what you think you sick b#^%$%^ )
as the bone would break much earlier then only 1/4 grunt. So we have to screw carefully not like you mechanics who can wanke teh srews in.

did her eyes water ?
and more importantly did she wash her toy before trying ?

well no her name is not valentine - but i am looking forward, try to get pressies in time and not last minute ( doesn't work out that well, as i am still last minute buying usually)

hey that would be interesting poll - How early do you buy pressies for your better half ?

WHAT???

I hope you mean 'whack' and I'll put it down to you spending too much time with sheep.

Screws aren't whacked in, they are screwed in. Nails are hammered in. Road surfaces are compacted with a 'Wacker'. The only thing that is whacked is a piece of malfunctioning or recalcitrant equipment. Or dentists that take the mickey out of engineers...

I had a trainee with me the other week who didn't know the difference between a screw and a bolt
