The shear head bolt idea is cool, but I don't think that would work too well for us. We really can't change sockets in the cell - in fact we use the same size hex on almost everything so we can use the same sockets. The sockets are essentially permanently attached to the wrenches. If we were to drop a socket (or anything else), it could conceivably shut the facility down.

Any loose pieces created during the torquing/installation would be undesirable. We dropped a washer (a big one for one of these 1.25" bolts" and spent hours looking with cameras to ensure it wasn't going to come back to haunt us. We're actually looking at a design change to eliminate the washers. Heck, we dropped a bottle of Snoop during an ill-fated attempt to troubleshoot a leak in a Hiltap fitting and never found the bottle!!
