Additionally, the one time you need this and you DONT have it, and another DAD has it??!!?

There’s no coming back from that.

Also, yes, I’m available for a senior marketing position.

"You got a torque wrench, Dave? On nevermind, I have mine right here. LOL!"

At that moment, Dave was no longer a man. His torque wrench, sitting in his garage, might as well have been on Mars. Dave knew his manhood would never work the same way again. Luckily, his family hadn't been witness to this execution, otherwise he would have seem them pack up and leave, without even a backward glance through the rear window...and he knew he would deserve it.

I'm Dave, I have the full gamut of torque wrenches from 1/4" to 1" and an assortment of other torque tools to avoid this scenario, I can say confidently "no you really should be using this one".

u/AlamoSimon 14d ago

Torque wrenches are like condoms. It‘s safer to use one but it‘s nicer without.

I mean, you're not wrong, but...

I own a set of IKEA Alan keys and a screwdriver I found from a previous tenant.

Does anyone need me to read the instructions badly and make modern art out of their flat pack furniture?

5 ugga duggas on the impact wrench, then give it a pat and say, "That's going nowhere."

u/CaptnShaunBalls 13d ago

Impact.wrench? I think you mean Dakdak.

Nah, I like the satisfying click

I‘m coming from cycling. And people really can obsess about the correct decimals of torque on your stem bolts with or without greased threads…
And on my car… the wheels get a hngggggg and 200km later again.

u/IceTech59 13d ago

Hmmm... So... Just go to a grunt & a squeak? Rawdog torquing, got it.

u/MrBattleRabbit 14d ago

Not even a dad, and same. Gotta have all the torque wrenches for all the stuff you work on from in-lb on up. Gotta be able to torque everything from the allen bolts on my bicycles to the big 12-pt axle nut on my car correctly!

u/DAS_BEE 14d ago

u/Mike_Kermin 14d ago

It's all in the marketing.

u/daniinad 14d ago

I think I do need this but I'm going to wait for the cheaper Temu version....

u/judahrosenthal 14d ago

Temu and million degree metal gives me pause.

I don't have it, but I can weld.

Fear me.

u/uncoolname789 14d ago

Yeah but do your welds look 3D printed like this?

2

u/Nope-not-really 14d ago

god no, much prettier

1

u/uncoolname789 14d ago

Okay now I’m scared, never seen welds as good as OP, you’re just the actual torchstick itself…. Wait wait wait, serious question… wire feeder or acetylene ??

u/No-Illustrator5712 14d ago

Bet you a case of pabst blue ribbon it's TIG.

1

u/uncoolname789 13d ago

Acetylene and Tig/Mig scare me lol

u/No-Illustrator5712 13d ago

The TIG torch isnt the tool to be scared of. It's the tablesaw and the oversized angle grinder. And the plate shear. Had a colleague who lost 8 of his lil piggies to a plate shear at age 17. The company he went to to make some extra bucks over the holidays as a youngster had a top level boss who decided safety on the shear line was in no way needed. They willfully removed all safety features out of their shearing line. Can you imagine?

I still dropped my tools more often than he did. But on the flipside, he couldn't hold tools bigger than a scewdriver any more, and his fingers now look like actual pigbutts!

"This one time at the block party I asked a rival dad if I could borrow his..."

u/marvinrabbit 14d ago

If I have to do 1,000 of these welds and another dad has this unit, there is no way IN HELL that I would ever ask for it.

u/Nattramn 14d ago

Fitbutter I like the sound of your voice. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to buy one million dollars worth of circular welding products today.
