If that was Snap On it would cost more than their truck.

Trust me, he's not lying.  Some of the fasteners have holes in them to insert electric heating elements.  They're torqued hot and then contract more as they cool.  Others I remember were torque to "X "lb. ft. and then a slug wrench and hammer was used to continue to tighten "X" flats

What the heck are you working on then. This is for a main rotor assembly for a steam generator on a aircraft carrier at least according to the bill of materials we had for it. Failed to torque properly on install and had to be remade.

Now I am picturing a scaled up version of a little yellow bin with foam versions of nuts and screws that an adult could jump in like a ball pit.
