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!

Anyway, are tightening requirements ever printed onto the head of a bolt?-- xaviergisz, May 23 2014 Weird, must have deleted me own anno..

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....-- not_morrison_rm, May 23 2014 Torque is cheap. Why not have it twice.-- AusCan531, May 23 2014 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.

That is probably the best annotation I have read here for some weeks.-- MaxwellBuchanan, May 23 2014 What is going on in here? What has happened to you all? This has spiraled into insanity.-- blissmiss, May 23 2014 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.
Just tor qued about it.-- normzone, May 23 2014 What's wrong with spirals of insanity?
Carbon neutral and non-fattening, what could be better.-- not_morrison_rm, May 23 2014 //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.-- AusCan531, May 23 2014 That must have been a wrench, for a nut like you … did you lose the thread ?-- 8th of 7, May 24 2014 //for a nut like you//

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.
It all means something.-- not_morrison_rm, May 24 2014 If you had spares, you could carefully increase torque until failure, then apply a correction factor.-- spidermother, May 25 2014 Beware of slipshod French political thinkers - as careless Tocqueville cost lives.
