Caution: Non RAMVA material.
I need to find a torque screwdriver -- yes, that's screwdriver -- for a project not associated with automotives. Torque screwdrivers are not something my electronics tools catalogs carry. Nor are they something likely to be found in the toolbox of a guy that works on VW's. But there may be a Master Of Tools, a veritable Bodhisattva of mechanical knowledge receiving this plea: Tell me, O Master, where may I find this elusive item for under $200?
Mountz makes really nice stuff in the $150 range. We used them in a clean room working on hard drives. I bought one of my own for turbo rebuilds. Very nice stuff. Gotta be a dealer online somewhere.

How about this:
My path to torque (not "Torx") screwdriver fulfillment was before me. Now with the guidance of the tool gurus, the path is behind me. I have left the samsaric world of ignorance and have entered tool nirvana: a really good screwdriver has been ordered and is on its way.
...............samsaric?...........sigh...........You Buddhist wackos out in California are making my head hurt.
Google search >>>>>>>> samsaric: Arising out of the misconception that there is an independent self and that security and possibly happiness can be obtained by protecting and defending its borders. 'Samsara' is a term used for the world or state of being that arises when either oneself or the world as a whole acts consistently out of this misperception.
Why is California like a bowl of Muesli?
That's spelled Müsli, you ignatint silly furriner ;)

Ich wiess es, dummkopf, aber Ich kann nicht ein gefückten Umlaut machen.
I should have said, but it is 'way off-topic.
I'm mounting an itty bitty transistor-sized power resistor that need to be snuggled right up against the mounting surface of the machined surface of a heat sink. This little puppy is rated to handle 50 Watts only if the heat can transfer fully to the 'sink. To assure that the resistor is pressed against the surface hard enough, the manufacturer specifies the use of Belleville (sometimes called conical or compression washers) rated for 150lbs of pressure tightened with a torque screwdriver to 8 inch-pounds and no more to avoid cracking the plastic case of the part. The bolt that is being tightened is a #4. So, and in short, I gotta tighten something down really tight. But not too tight. Basically the same thing anyone uses a torque wrench for, but a lot smaller.
heheheheheheh

Gefickt? :o)

Mmm, sounds sexy!

Irregular past participle.
Besides, I wanted to put an umlaut there instead of on dummkopf where it should have been to try to draw Jan's attention to the fact that although I said I didn't know how to make one, I made one anyway.
Come on, admit it: you just copied and pasted it from Müsli.
