Plus, how many of you dial them back to zero when you're done using them?

I work for a POCO, hydroelectric and the kingpin of our crew is the millwright. Don't even set the torquewrench down without returning it to zero.

i used to use a yankee torque wrench, you tighten the first one down untill it breaks then you dont tighten the rest quite that tight.:grin:

I remember asking a guy many years back what the torque spec was on a particular buss bar connection. His reply was, "Darned tight, plus one-quarter turn".

Or, stop 1/4 turn before it breaks. :grin:
 
I have several allens sets one long, one short, one modified cut for use in tight locations, and then loose allens of varying lengnts.

You do not need a milright just a right angle grinder with thin bladed, all my trucks carry this very useful tool.
 
It just the fact that I'm not going to cut my allens, there usually mine.

My proto's have worked fine for years ... I'd buy a dumb set to chop up.

I don't show up or sent out to a job in a truck full of things that make work easier... I've gotten over it ... ;)
