A torque screwdriver isn't a bad idea IMO. I torque my tier one mounts

You must be new here, you get used to him.
Perhaps biased because we supply them but we do recommend torque drivers...
All you need is a little conetrol and no tools other than those God given and designed to tweak the occasional nipple.

Ah but nipples do need regular greasing
God knows how all the fine watches and time pieces were put together back in the day...
Hand skills are a thing of the past, however the sheep majority will need a tool for sharpening a knife lol
Burning a 4mm rod with the wrong hand up hill will sort out these torque wrench
Sealey STS104 Torque Screwdriver Digital 0-20Nm 1/4inHex Drive very happy with it
Come on Tim, surely a 12 stint on air arc?Burning a 4mm rod with the wrong hand up hill will sort out these torque wrenchqueen'slol
Flogging spanners & sledges on these,
Yep, and now you're a qualified tool..........................

Tim your livelihood depends on the general population lacking a degree of hand skills.
I’m not sure why you expect most people to instinctively know what 10Nm feels like, but at least they’re trying to do it for themselves with the correct tool.
It’s all relative isn’t it, rough cutting wood; no need to even measure, but if I’m doing valve clearances then it’s feeler gauges and micrometers. It’s the same here, fixing your wheeelbarrow; crack on, but if the risk is a potentially knackered £600 scope, why not use the tool for the job.
Only with the MILAN...
Shame my youngest was told he couldn't train with the live version .. too expensive.

You mean the same watches that needed the time re setting twice a week and a full service every few years??
I learnt valve clearance's and lapping valves from the age of 12/13 as Dad use to make and tune 350/500 JAP engines running on dope around 12-1 compression out in the sheds at the back of the house. The frames were made here all except the wheels and seats. The bikes were Finn Grass track bikes with Alf Hagon being Dads biggest competitor so I learnt from a young age thank you very much... He was a builder so knocking up a gauge of muck and running it to him in a wheel barrow doing extensions was second nature...
That bike is hand built and still in the shed, Dad is gone but what I learnt from him is still there, the other person in the picture is Tony Steggles
SO IF I DON'T WANT TO USE A TOURE WRENCH I WON'T SO CRACK ON.

Wow. I’m almost afraid to post after the heated debate I’ve just read above.
I didn’t train as an engineer. I know what FT is, and not wanting to strip small bolt threads or mark scopes I use a torque wrench.
TOPEAK cycle torque wrench. Less than £20.
Dead simple and accurate. Been using one for the last 5 years.

Great stuff. And what a way to learn.
My Dad was a miner and a semi pro musician. I never learnt to hew coal in a 2’ shaft as he did when a small boy, but I did learn to play a couple of musical instruments and have the ability to recognise most songs within the first two/three bars.
That doesn’t help me with deer stalking much !
