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!

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!

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?

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.

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

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. G |
