Many years back, I bought Snap-On allens to use on my torque wrench. Mercedes, Nissan and some others use 10mm allen head bolts for the cylinder heads. Trouble is the allen part was about four inches long. When you torque a head bolt, you lose about six pounds of torque just winding up that allen wrench. I guess that I had troqued about a thousand head bolts six pounds under before I figured that out.
Freakin hate that!!!

It didn't to me either. I told the Snappy guy about it and he declared that was not their intended use. He was happy to sell me some one piece forged pieces for an astonishing amount of cash.

He'll never understand that. Maybe someone in his ghetto who shares his taste will buy it from him..... ya think?
