Showerthought: I was torquing injector lines wrong for way too long
I was always using a standard torque wrench on those high-pressure lines, thinking it was fine. Then a guy I work with, Mike, saw me do it and said, 'You know that's gonna give you a false reading on the pipe threads, right?' He showed me to use a crowsfoot adapter on the wrench to get the right angle. I tried it on a Duramax yesterday and the difference in feel was huge. Anyone else have a simple tool trick that fixed a basic job?

That old Snap-on catalog had a whole section on crowsfoot torque adapters.

Remember my buddy trying to torque a line on his truck's power steering. Bought a crowsfoot, didn't read the math part... snapped the fitting clean off.
