I never use any electric or air tools. Ever. I always break shit and you don't get the feel for the steel. My arm is TQ calibrated to DoD specs anyway.........
I had a mechanic buddy named Todd
Everything ended up being “Todd tight”
Still use it to this day haha

I was a mechanic and shop owner for many years. I call it "factory tight."

When the hose kept blowing off, it was on the side of the road, in the middle of the night in the mountains between Durango and Ouray. We tightened the clamp bolt just to the point before the bolt would become instantly loose. :)

Dude that brought back memories. Aqua net was the fuel for the potato cannon back in the day. It had the most alcohol content
Aqua net was also what we used to put new grips on our dirt bikes back in the day. Same principle-provide lubrication to slide grips/hoses on, then when alcohol evaporated the residue “glued” the rubber to the metal. Some old hacks still work today.

Same method works at getting back at that ex girlfriend one last time.
