An absolutely perfect assessment of a man who'll spend $250 on a valve adjustment reader (once every third year on a restaurant troller) but scrimp on lifetime fittings.

-And please DO be crass when referring to Bumhole of the Bailey.

And you should see my restaurant tab....

And btw, re-used rubber v/c gaskets, open gear grease, and nuts torqued to 7 ft/lbs. Not a sign of a leak today.

What brand of T/W reads down to 7 ft/lbs? Or do you convert from in/lbs?

84 inch/lbs. I re-torque it after the first heat cycle and then it's done. I need the smaller torque wrench more than the others as I tend to have a "heavy hand."
