Default Bought a torque wrench for the wheel hub nuts

Sold a house and decided to take a bit of the winnings and do some reckless spending. After replacing eight wheel hubs last year, I decided to get a proper torque wrench for future hub nuts lol. 800nm Hazet should do the trick.

This post needs an NSFW tag. That torque wrench is worth more than my Disco.

A pessimist buys that torque wrench AFTER replacing eight hubs.

A saying comes to mind ... It starts with ...

"A fool and his money ..."

There's also a quote from Forrest Gump, but I won't bother with that for now.

I hope you never need to use that torque wrench. Good luck.
