Wow a land line, old school. Woodstock I would drive through there every day going to work at Johnson motors. Bought my first house in Round Lake. Moved away to Colorado in 81, boy things have changed back there since then.

Just a little inside tip, CDI does make Snap On's torque wrenches. Also, if you need one repaired, check out Angle Repair out of WV, they do almost every MFGs warranty repairs. Shhh

Use it for a breaker bar

Said right in the instructions not to do that.
I have a 3/4" drive braker why would I want to use a 1/2" drive torque wrench?

I still have one, I'm sure lots of us do. Just easier to use the click style.
Up until last year I still had a land line w a rotary dialer.

Rotary dialer with party line?

I know.
My school had an excellent automotive shop. Some rich person donated millions.
Snap on everything.
Shop teacher caught One of my pals (a really stupid kid) using the torque wrench to break lug nuts loose. Teacher had a coniption.

I've only seen 1 person stupid enough to use a torque wrench as a breaker.
Fortunately shortly after graduation 20 years ago he found his true calling, flipping burgers.

Fitting indeed....

Reminds me of a friend who was checking spark by himself. Couldn't believe he told me about that. So he hooks up the bump starter and takes the #1plug with wire holds it in his bare hand......shocked the piss out of him, lol....

That guy is in jail last I heard..lol

When I was a teenager I was working on my '71 383 Challenger and got WHACKED with an MSD box. I had to take a seat right there on the curb for a good 15 minutes. I learned my lesson NOT to lean on the car and complete the ground.
