On fasteners with unusually high torque, and no available torque wrench, a good approximation is to tighten it until you fart. LeRoy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

The Park PCS 4-1, 4-2 and PCS-10 are more than adequate. I've been using an older PCS for years and years. The new ones have more stable legs which look good to me. If you are patient, you can find the professional stands on Cragslist with an extremely heavy base at a reasonable price. The
