Something we all should have in the shed

TORQUE WRENCH

Lozza wins!
It's the first question I ask any Mechanic or so called Mechanic who walks in with a Resume
What's the torque setting on the sump plug of a 450 Motocrosser ?
What brand ? doesn't matter ?
Make a guess ?
What's your guess ?
Or a 250 2 smoke?

Reminds me of a bike shop owner that was telling me a few years back that he knew his new mechanic was going to be a dud when he saw him using a torque wrench as a breaker bar to undo an axle nut

They were calibrated vice grips.

Doh! Silly me.

WD40, Duct Tape, large hammer.

Essential things for your shed.

1. Stocked beer fridge.
2. Good stero or radio.
3. Bed in case you get locked out of the house.
4. Maybe a big flat screen TV with Foxtel connection.
5. And some tools.

I might be missing the joke here, but I'd suggest that any "mechanic" that needs to use a torque wrench on a sump plug isn't worth employing.

Yep a Torque Multiplier is Number 1, you can put 500ft/lbs on with an 1/2inch drive(just don't use your inch rattle gun on it),and a couple or 3 leathermen on your belt,especially the "Crunch" which has its own mini vice grip,great for undoing stubborn Phillips head screws.

You don't need a torque wrench on the sump plug,just belt the spanner a couple of times with a copper hammer(don't want to hurt the spanner),and if it leaks plug it with Quick Metal epoxy,easy.

Pack of sooks,
Not one guess,
And Nathan no joke estimate the cost of a replacement of a set of crank cases on a M109 at 900klms?
Just a little over $5k??
New crush washer $2.00
Using Torque Wrench additional 30 seconds
