MT big brother? Some years ago, SROs published a diatribe from the MT Section informing drivers that it was their personal responsibility to check that the wheelnuts were tightened to the correct torque before driving any service vehicle.

The next day one of my colleagues had to use a service car and went to sign it out. He asked the duty MT NCO for a torque wrench and information on the correct wheelnut torques so he could check the car, iaw with SROs.

The answer? "Torque wrench, Sir? I have no idea what you are talking about....we don't have any torque wrenches....why would you want to do that?"
