Build Your Own Torque Wrench - It's Just That Easy
 

I thought many of you gearheads and tool whores might appreciate this parody. Through the magic of the interwebs, I stumbled onto this gem while searching for a new wrench. I think I shall build one of these instruments of accuracy to tighten my 911 valve covers; no more doing it by feel for me!

Sir, please step away from the motorcycle

Pretty funny! I love the glue stick!

Holy crap!

assembly tape, thought that was duct tape.

His explanation of "torques" is funny! And I had no idea that "titanium rod" and "aluminum plate" were so easy to cut with Swiss Army Knife scisors!

"Blue Electrical Tape"

"Epoxy Tape"

"Standard Assembly Tape"

I guess I have another internet time waster. Thanks, Sand Man!

Metric nut adapters......translation: vice grips. I like it.

Is this guy serious?

Watched some of his other videos and have to wonder. Check out the turn signal vid for some real laughs!

Doesn't he have any new "assembly" tape?

ok, that was funny.

+1

loved the CCW tightening/torqueing. -was a nice touch. as was the Ti tube ...cut down to 2.1cm for accuracy.

Very ingenious. Gotta watch a few others. Nice find!

I like 3:00 to 3:07

Way too funny! Thanks for posting that!

the red precision needle looks curiously like the snorkel tube on my WD-40
who knew?
he must have used the same manual to make his hacksaw :D

Hilarious. With those nice fat markings on his torque scale plate he will no doubt have precise torques for everything, but I have to think that if he would just wing it he would get the torques even more precise. Now I have to watch and learn more.

Holy Hell, I am going to waste so much time w/ this guy.

Anybody see the aluminum polishing and the ultra sonic cleaner? Bad A$$!

The Christmas special was good, but don't forget about how to cook a delicious corndog.

Are all manuals from Australia upside down?

Pretty funny, I especially like how he tightens the bolt to spec by turning it to the left :)

That is high humor. Outstanding!

HAHA! Assembly tape! I also love how he points out what color the zip ties need to be ... and I also caught the left handed threads on all those bolts!

Thanks for sharing.

Epoxy = gum :)

Haha, cooling fan for the ignition! This guys funny

HA! Yeah, the unchewed "epoxy" did seem to suspiciously resemble a Chiclette!

OMG. Is the guy serious? Even in this video, it shows how flawed the device works!

How wild is it that Saturday Night live would be improved by playing these things.

He's gonna put Harbor Tools out of business

so my bad a$$ meter is finished and calibrated! :D

(I've watched it 3 times.. gets better each time)

That is one of the best instructional videos I have seen on youtube!

Blahahah!

I love the "lead BB's". Looked like .357 full metal jackets to me. :D

I have never seen "mechanic's humor" that wasn't slapstick. This is brilliant.

Notice the "spork" on the bench??? That video was classic!!

I love the dry delivery, It took me a min or two to realize he wasnt serious
