Check out this cool little Torque driver for our foils..

This was today at Dromana Victoria..

If it's not stainless steel it will be dead after couple month.

Probably.. if you chuck it in with wet wetsuits and salt water.. but that's no way to treat a quality tool or torque wrench.. Treat it right and it'll last forever.

They come in a 4 a 5 and a 6 or you can pay extra for the adjustable one like mine but it's twice the cost and you only set it on 6 so getting the cheaper 6 is the way to go.

I'm often getting asked "how tight should they be" and many either over tighten or don't tighten enough.

It's no biggie for most people .. Just an option and tool that some that might find useful.

Cool, I usually use my right hand a a torque guide:-)

I used to work in a bike shop and Park torques were great for stopping ppl over tighten, esp on carbon frames.
I've often thought how tight? my AK M8s get more than 6nm, I'm a lot more delicate with the Naish M6s. I think I might buy one for the Naish.
Do use 6nm on all M6 bolts, inc mast to board?
Superb conditions again, great vid. thanks.
