A good quality torque wrench will cost $50 – $100 dollars, so you could say it a fairly expensive tool. The question is: I’m not an automobile mechanic so why do I need to buy this tool that I may never use? The simple reason is that the aluminium...

The lousy plastic RV water hoses drove me crazy. Take the 25 feet of the “white” fresh water hose (in the sun tasted like plastic ?) which is also to short to be worth while.  So we had to have 50 feet of it which was a horror show...
