In that case... the tool would be an 8 foot long torque wrench?

Actually, dad's guidance through the years has been my most useful tool in my box. Smartest man I ever met.

I had one. See the VW post above.

yep, my dad taught me early on, if it's broke, fix it, if you don't know how to fix it, take it apart and figure out how to fix it, if it's still not fixed, it's screwed, replace it. still believe that to this day, when my friends come to me with broken stuff, I won't fix it for them. but for a couple beers I will get my hands dirty and TEACH them how to fix it.

Why you frownin Cuda? I loved bugs, unless you total it, there is nothing you can kill that can't be fixed for under $300 BUCKS AND AN AFTERNOONS WORK.

Damn Cuda, that's nice. A great thing to share on Christmas, too.
I can't nominate for the POTW thread, but I hope someone does. Paul Merry Christmas All,

have you seen the tool for tightening tie wraps and cuts them in one pull. it is cool, perfect for rigging. you slide it over the end once you feed the tie in and squeeze the handle, and it auto cuts it off.

The frown was for the entire day spent getting that broken lug bolt out, without tearing up the threads.
As my buddy, Tex, used to tell me, "I reckon that'll learn ya".
I'm at mom and dad's this morning. Dad was out in the garage yesterday, giving me tools he said he won't need anymore, like ridge reamers, ring expanders, cylinder hones, etc. The only time we took any to the machine shop, was to get heads ground. We always did the rest. We never had a block rebored, or anything like that.

We probably didn't have 12 extra dollars.
Besides, dad has seen where we broke off the lug bolt, so we couldn't admit the bolt whipped us. 12 dollars was half a paycheck.
