Did you know that a single 7/16" grade 8 nut is like 85 cents?! That's messed up... The nut also has that plastic ring around it (on the inside) so it won't wiggle loose. That was an extra 1 penny.
They would be made in usa then. You got the best ones. A torque wrench at sears is 12 dollars or so?? That way you can keep that kid in the big hampster exercise wheel that he has to turn to generate electricity, or else no supper.

I really appreciate all of the awesome advice that I'm getting from you guys.
Giving advice is a LOT easier than doing work. This way we get to watch YOU work, and we get the same satisfaction as if we had done the work ourselves. So really we advice-givers come out ahead on the deal.
