Default Thinking back to the subject of cool tools yesterday......here's a recent acquisition...

It's a 3/8ths drive, flexible head, electronic torque wrench. It measures in inch-pounds, foot-pounds and newton-metres. Turn it on, go to the scale you want to use, adjust the torque setting to whatever spec you need. As you are tightening the fastener, the digital display counts up as torque increases. When you reach the specified setting, the handle vibrates and an audible beep is heard. After releasing the wrench, the display will show the actual torque applied to the fastener as a failsafe mode.
