Here is a tool i made to adjust screw and lock on cat rocker arms when adjusting valves. It would be very easy to make this tool with a variable torque setting with loaded detents lik preset torque limiters for shafts. It wouldnt change the size could i sell them.

Steve that is sort of "showing off", I dont think I even have the correct spanner for the lock nut??, you have this work of art to pull out of the tool box.

Steve, I've had this tool for as long as I can remember, I will say yours is better looking though.
