I've got pics all the way through.

Once this is done I'm probably going to go back and repaint the bedrooms. I already did all the major plaster work ~5 years ago so there's not much to do to get it ready.

Well I think I'll take a couple of weekends off first.

well that wasn't as bad as I though it was going to be... quite informative actually considering I did not realize that I needed to set my manual torque wrench down to lowest torque after use - it's been set at 85 since the last time I used it over a month ago

any thoughts on its affect on the calibration in that time period?

Exactly. There was nothing wrong with that thread...

Geez Jar, don't you have 27 years of automotive experience?

mr.jar- yah, its spring loaded so it will probably give you false readings now.
Try testing it with another wrench to see how far off it is.

I have redundant torque wrenches so I can compare one another. SnapOn does recalberation on mine.

Awesome

The one I have is a Craftsman, so I'll probably just try to take it back to Sears and replace it. I've got a buddy with one I can borrow if I need one soon

This one is like the Craftsman I have! It used to belong to my Grandfather before he passed.

I honestly almost bought something like that (inexpensive), but I went with one of the more modern manual ones (~$90). I love all the old tools that I inherited from my dad's parents after they sold their house and moved into a retirement home about three years ago
