Re: torque stand

Hi Brian,

I think we are on stand number 5 now.  Clearly the folks out here in Utah
don't know there own strength! I normally just attach one of those big
wrenches that can be screwed tight directly onto the circular bit where the
handle was. Works fine but can be a little frustrating at times.

Good Luck
Lisa
