Thanks for that learner but the thing is that there is no doubt many of these posters have a heap more experience than I do. Ive been in the trade since i was growing up with my father but officially 10 years including my apprenticeship and running my company. And I am sure that they would be able to 'feel' the correct torque required a lot quicker than I would be able to set them on the wrench. And for your comfort it is not actually possible to vary much above the 15% variation in the tightening of the flares without actually noticing the over tightening and cracking of the flare.

Goof morning Mick..............
And a very goof evening to you exotiic.:D:D
Interesting about the torque wrenches, I'll have to do a google and seen if I can find a pic. I can't quite picture them, I assume it's a flare nut spanner with a tension indicating device built into the shaft/handle, rather than a wrench that you can put some sort of socket onto. So before Rothenberger released theirs were there any on the market, or any other way of measuring torque on a flare nut?
