They are still in business and still going strong. Never received better customer service anywhere. It's about reliability. I wouldn't go anywhere else for torque products. We buy from Apco Mossberg.

I also make the mistake of insisting on performing shaft alignment right. But I never ensured uniform coupling bolt or driving machine foot hold-down bolts with torque wrenches. Every team needs a list of recommended bolt torques. You have said the obvious. I also make the mistake of insisting on performing shaft alignment right.

Digital or mechanical? Which is better? What brand is best? Do you know Apco Mossberg? They are local to me and I know they have been in business for quite a long time (100+ years)...but their business seems to be down a bit. Any insight?

We emphasize in our LCE Planner/Scheduler Training the importance of including torque values in the job plans and torque wrenches identified in the tools required section. The number one push back we hear is the resistence of technicians to read the work plan. That is where his point about management reinforcement is so important. Requiring torque values to be logged in work order history and work sampling are two effective ways to demonstrate the importance. Great article, I'll be referencing it in our future P/S training classes. Bob was right on target regarding the importance of proper torque application during repairs.
