I believe most experienced techs get a feeling for how tight to make
stuff..

max torque is sometimes a bad idea, the next service trip may make it
impossible to get whatever apart....

frankly i hate stuff thats been over torqued.

I have had dumb customers tell me with pride i always know when
allen screws are tight, they make that click click click sound.

lucky me has to drill out the allens or in some cases use my sawzall
to cut off shafts that i cant get apart

my goal is a quick low cost repair.....

idiots can make that impossible


Don't you just love going behind Billy Bob the service tech? ^_^
