I do keep forgetting which drawers are metric and which are SAE, but I do use the metrics after a bit of drawer hunting, LOL.
Tight to a librarian could be loose to a longshoreman.
When I first started working for the company I work for again now, my boss could always tighten fittings more than me with the same effort. Now I can tighten those fittings just as well if not better than him since I am used to it again.
I used to be able to torque to 20 ft. lbs. by feel and be almost dead on, but not anymore.
I think we all get the drift. I could venture to say that this post could be a bit whorish, borish, and uneccesarily long all in one go, but I won't.
I still do need the magical number though if possible.
Thanks,
SB
