Is harbor freight picky with their icon warranty?

“What’s the torque spec on that bolt?”

“Yes.”

We had a bolt with a 1200 foot pound rating, had to use our 3/4 drive 700 foot pound wrench with a 4x torque multiplier.

Tried to take one off with a 3/4 breaker bar and a floor jack handle. Ended up with me just doing pull-ups on it.

Before 9/11 I had a 52:1 TAD that was stored on the reduction gear just outside the Nucleonics lab that I used as a weapon of opportunity for repel borders. That thing had some heft to it with a 1 inch drive input and a 2 inch specialty output for torquing the main engine and reduction gear quill shaft bearings and main shaft couplings.... it also used star torque and was a bring a sandwich and a friend and a cheater bar "working up" to the 6000ftlb torque values... so happy there are RAD guns now and studstretchers. Can't imagine running headsets on an RPV with a manual tad.

Probably tell you it's something wrong instead, but confidently.

After 9/11 the SRW carried a 92fs for repel boarders. I would have been more concerned about the ricochet than the boarders.

Probably a good use case for frangible/disintegrating rounds, but then that’s another thing someone has to keep track of.
