Baffled by not knowing how much to tighten that 3/8th Whitworth, like they were in Fukushima, just call Torque Torque (premium line service) and they'll give you the specs!
Will no doubt end up with mini-series reality show and preferably a bit with Jeremy Clarkson lured inside the sarcophagus in
Chernobyl to do up a lot of bolts......
All you do is torque torque

Funny - I knew a D&D charactor once named Tork. He was a half orc, dumber than a bag of hammers. [normzone, May 23 2014]

I think I'm missing some inside joke. |
|
| |
Anyway, are tightening requirements ever printed onto the head of a bolt? |
|
| |
Weird, must have deleted me own anno.. |
|
| |
//'m missing some inside joke. |
|
| |
No, you're just thinking you're missing the inside joke.. |
|
| |
On the upside by having this title I get to have some reasonably high quality on-hold music, see - life's what you make it.... |
|
| |
Torque is cheap. Why not have it twice. |
|
| |
Thinking it might be helpful to have some kind of roadshow, going out to more provincial areas to give advice on fasteners and their tightening limits. |
|
| |
I'm sure it would be the torque of the town. |
|
| |
Careless torque costs lives. |
|
| |
People say I torque funny. |
|
| |
The strange thing is that I've only stripped threads through
setting a torque wrench to the wrong setting, and never by
feel...Torque wrenches are like GPS navigation systems. |
|

//Careless torque costs lives// |
|
| |
I'd like that in tiny writing on my car wheels one
day... |
|
| |
//Careless torque costs lives.// |
|
| |
That is probably the best annotation I have read
here for some weeks. |
|
| |
What is going on in here? What has happened to you
all? This has spiraled into insanity. |
|
| |
A spiral indicates some level of control and repeatability. I think it took a hard left and slid off the highway of common sense into the ditch of wordplay, splashing puns and worse in all directions. |
|
| |
What's wrong with spirals of insanity? |
|
| |
Carbon neutral and non-fattening, what could be better. |
|
| |
//Torque wrenches are like GPS navigation systems.// |
|
| |
Just tried this. Ended up in Torquay. But I don't want to go
to Torquay. Now it has me going around in spiralling circles
and I feel screwed. |
|
| |
That must have been a wrench, for a nut like
you … did you lose the thread ? |
|
| |
This idea is on a road to nowhere with all these
references to torquing heads. |
|
| |
Hell in a hand basket, this idea is. Go ahead, torque
amoungst yourselves, if you must. |

Of whom the Grand Inquisitor was Tomas de Torquemada... |
|
| |
Am I the only person to know this, did I read too many 2000AD's in my yoof... |
|
| |
Well this isn't about toques at all... |
|
| |
//I read too many 2000AD's // |
|
| |
Hey, U can read ? Who knew ... |
|
| |
Wouldn't 2000BC be more appropriate for wearing a torc? |
|
| |
//Hey, U can read ? Who knew |
|
| |
Nahh, I just look at the pictures. |
|
| |
I was re-reading Neuromancer yesterday and one character is called Corto, so if you rearrange that you get torCo, which is presumably torc in Spanish. |
|
| |
If you had spares, you could carefully increase torque until failure, then apply a correction factor. |
|
| |
Beware of slipshod French political thinkers - as careless Tocqueville cost lives. |
|
| |
The measure of how tightly one's head is screwed on - toque torque. |
|
| |
ok, you get the last word and pocmloc had the best saying.. |
|
| |
[2fries], you may be one toque over the line. |
