I'd like to know that the standard is to get threads that are FTTL or Finger Tight Tool Loose. ;) Every mechanic has run into the situation where a nut or bolt fits just tight enough that it's impossible to unscrew with fingers but even the highest quality, freest ratcheting ratchet will just wiggle the fastener back and forth without ratcheting. So you either have to somehow get a finger on something to provide enough drag to force the ratchet to do its job, or you're stuck constantly swapping and flipping two different open end wrenches because the #^#%^# people who designed the thing only allowed enough room for a tool to swing 5.6 degrees, and the fit is that tight all the way up 3 inches of thread. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
