I have the short alloy Wagner in the molded case - has a rubber gasket in the lid so it stays nice and dry if you add a silica bag. I stuff it in under the tire and no one is the wiser. With a screwdriver bit adapter I can use it with a torx set around the machine, but I can't always get in where I need to. When I can, I get the basic torque as I loosen it and then send it back home as indicated when I'm done. Not correct I know - but I try to allow for corrosion and Friday afternoon assembly variances as I go along. I'm afraid my free hand touch isn't nearly as close as yours brother Grunff - you will remember my passenger window adventure last summer.. Always one flipping quarter turn too much.. Anyway, I hit your link and the darned site was down. Any chance you have a product name or a shop who might keep them on hand? I've seen adapters made up by chaining a torque sleeve on the end of a screwdriver with a rachet head - but they aren't usually close in terms of foot pounds and if someone has a purpose built job I'm very interested. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Andrews Sisters - Oh Johnny http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/095.RAM
