    Older tools / vise passed on to me today

    Nice vice! I am also a big fan of the speeder handle as well. Not a great way to get tools, but I'm sure that the original owner would like to see them put to good use.

    Whats your take on FLUKE multimeters?

    I have an older Fluke 77 that I purchased on eBay for ~$50 a few years ago. Tough as nails, and works like a champion. I just wish that the screen was easier to read in low light. When I was working in aircraft maintenance in the Air Force, all we used were Flukes. Good stuff :D

    torque wrenching VS tighten by feel

    As an ex-aircraft mechanic, a good portion of aircraft mechanics do not have the necessary common sense to be trusted to use their 'calibrated elbow'. Me, I use a torque wrench on anything load bearing or moving. The smaller stuff gets torqued by feel.
