It's on the highest setting but with 5 foot of box steel over the end trying to undo these wishbone bolts from the subframe the ring spanner held up (despite looking like a bend it like Beckham) and then the wrench went WHACK! and the innards fell out in pieces. Don't make em like they used to eh?

Don't worry Billy, I'm sure Simon will lend you his torque wrench as long as he isn't using it to hammer something in or for some other free creative thinking idea he has come up with.
