So that’s what they use at the quick oil change places to put the drain plug back in!

hahahha...i drooled when i laughed.

we have a big wrench and multiplier at work, but that is nuts.

Here's one that goes to 6000 Ft lbs. and can run off your garage air compressor.

Better hope that reaction foot doesn't slip.

Exactly why I don't go to those places. That and I'd prefer my Land Rover's belly pan to not disappear.

Isn't that how the wrenches that are designed for the centerlocks on modern Porsches work?

I learned about these just this last year. Fascinating. They seem to be common in some circles and work well.

Who knew? Pretty cool. Agreed.

Once toured the Queen Mary's engine room where I saw some really big hex nuts, maybe 4"-5" across the flats...probably used tools like that on 'em.

Wasn't there a thread here about the energy store/release torque wrench?

on the opposite side of the spectrum. what about that tiny ass torque wrench the dentist uses to check torque on an implant. that thing is mini-mini.
