How many threads on here have asked how to get screws/bolts out ?

TOP TIP!
Always shake the hand of the previous owner when you purchase:
Limp wrist handshake = loose bolts Strong handshake = stripped threads

I've heard of torque wrenches, I even own a couple, only use them on jobs I consider it vital, like head bolts etc!
