You can talk all day about design : what is better? The materials, again, what is better? or did you use a torque wrench? etc, but really: The question should be: when was the last time you had your torque wrench calibrated? So you know its reading the proper ft. lbs. or Nm ?
( BTW: anyone know where the hell can I have my wrenchs calibrated in the greater NYC area? )
