It mean's I have knowledge above and beyond about mechanics, be it tools or fasteners, than any of you hacks. There, I said it.

Bottom line is this: Shopping for tools at Harbor Freight is like buying furniture at the Dollar General. Sure, it will work, but the whole purpose of torquing is to be accurate. I'd trust not torquing at all rather than using a junk tool. Breaking fasteners sucks.

Only torqued 10k bolts? So you started turning wrenches in 2018? Or you don't torque lugnuts?

Is a lug nut considered a "Fastener"? I'm sorry, I'm not an ASE tech.

The guy seems torqued a little too tight.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Is ASE the automotive equivalent of PSIA certification? Do I need to be certified before I attempt to change my derailleur? Should I use a Snap-On torque wrench?

Seriously, the Husky ones at Home Depot are rated well. Never used one on a bicycle, but why not I guess.
