Hi Neil.

Maybe not wrenches, but there are torque screwdrivers. I recently
discovered this when I started a new job servicing wide format printers
and vinyl cutters; the new brand of machines I am now working on
requires a specific torque setting on the screws that hold the printhead
in place.

Now I have to find a Canadian vendor for these things....

Happy Trails,

Greg Potts
