Even with the correct tools it still takes skill and understanding of the job and materials being used to execute a repair?
An example of this is the correct use of a torque wrench, how many times have you observed someone going to the trouble of setting up a wrench to then go an extra 10 - 20 degrees beyond the calibrated click?

Very valid point- just watch any local tyre place. A while back I had a couple of tyres on wife’s Astra, the gorilla fitter zapped the nuts up fully with his gun, same gun he had just used to remove some Transit nuts so no idea what force it had. Then got torque wrench and seemed surprised when it clicked without moving the nuts, so gave it the extra quarter turn anyway to be sure. He got upset when I complained to his boss and made him do it properly. On wheel bearings, yes seen plenty of times where even using a press people put force on the wrong part and damage the new bearing from the off, no doubt then blamed no the poor quality of the beating.... |
