General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: torque tool

A man with decent mechanical aptitude can torque a screw pretty close by feel; usually when I given size screw feels right it's torqued right. Especially when talking silly little machines like speakers. Of course there's always some klutz that overtightens and breaks screws or crossthreads them but then that's how we define a klutz isn't it?

Torquing screws on steam generator manways in nuclear plants to 2400 pounds or bolting heads on heat exchangers in chemical plants and powerhouses are different stories of course. Though it's surprising how many times you'd whale on a slugging wrench with 12 pound beater till it pinged just right and when you put the torque wrench with 6' extension on it you were on the money.
