I don't bother with them much these days though I've never done any engine internal work more than clutch plates/baskets and alternators.
lol, iv done that before coz i couldnt be bothered to reach for the 3/8th one .
i remember once after rebuilding the mito engine and refitted it, i read the torq guide wrong and started doing up my front sprocket to 50nm lol it didnt end well lol
