Yes, fiver. I specialized in threaded fastener engineering at work, and was really surprised how
many engineers know very, very little about threaded fasteners, thread engagement requirements,
and torquing.
Amen on how little torque is necessary, comared to what "feels right".
And another one. Anyone guess the axial breaking strength of a #8 screw made of good alloy, nothing miraculous
but no cheese, like grade 8 level? I had to prove some of this stuff to engineers in our test lab, too.
I have a regular 1/4" drive torque wrench, have used it, but it is mighty inconvenient for scope screws!
