Just got some of these beasts.

Used for torquing bolts on fighter jets so money no object really.

Crazy thing is USB and wirelessly connects to the computer too

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

very swish.

ours are shite, they don't even have a torque adjuster on, just a label that is half peeled off saying max torque 30 nm

oh well, don't buy a diesel i built because the flywheel will probably fall off

Not sure on exact price but expect no change from £10k as they have to go through extra scrutiny and testing due to their use on military aircraft. They also carry no warranty as the warranty is void from etching tool mumbers into them.

We have 2 in our hangar and there will probably be another 8 on site.

These are the crimp tools too

What fighter jets use them?
Only the airforce have fighter jets and surely the RAF will not have anything as posh as that the riggers will smash them to pieces using it as a knocking stick or something.

Was gonna say i'm on the last of the tornado f3's and there is no way i'm gonna see any new torque wrenches like that.

bloody typhoon gets loads of money chucked at it. You should see the amount of work going on down in the falklands ready for the typhoon takeover!

You're idea of fucking tight is probably very different to somebody who goes to gym 6 days a week and is built like a brick

My comment was kind of a private joke. We used to say that in the bike shop I worked in. Doesn't matter.
