3.715 seconds is not driving, that is just holding on. :(

It was a close race, the margin of victory was 0.0056 seconds (approximately 3 feet).


Earlier in the day chip Foose was standing right next to me near the starting line.
He was hanging with the Kalitta group most of the day.

I'm about 9 feet taller than Chip and three times as wide, so I figured it would be funny to stand in front of him.

I moved when he moved, it was hilarious except he didn't even recognize me!
He musta thought I was just another doofus but my buddies were darn near in tears.

Later I apologized and chip thought it was funny.
SUUURE he did.

He was actually totally cool. Just what you would expect.

Recently bought one of these for the shop. Adjustable torque wrench, very little noise, no rattling vibration, totally adjustable.

Basically a small high speed air motor coupled to a geared reduction unit which multiplies the torque a go-zillion times (from 2500 rpm down to 4 rpm)
Lots safer than multipliers or hydraulic torque wrenches. Not cheep.

JGUN-A3-Z
TORQUE RANGE: 685 to 3083 FT/ LBS
Drive: 1” SQ
HEIGHT: 9.52” (24.2 CM)

But in 6 months they'll have a 5hitty knock-off for $39.99

If they do I'll snag one for the house!

The real one cost just over

How do you hold a pistol-grip tool as it's producing 3083 lb.ft of torque?

I use one of these torque multipliers for my work.

Very good question!

WOW! over 3000 ft/lbs? Wouldn't that shear the end? And why would you need that much torque?
