tobnpr, I looked at the Fix It Sticks website, and they don't show the torque limiters yet. The writer of the article hadn't seen the information on the limiters as yet, from the time of the article on the 27th of last month. That would be a nice set of tooling, if affordable, and they do start selling them.

Our washing machine was making 'this noise' through one of the cycles. It was a popping sound. More than I wanted to know but the parts to repair reminded me of a few torque/limiters I have with bevel drives and springs. It would be nice if they were adjustable. The parts in the washing machine were plastic and worn, when the machine changed directions the torque required to spin overrode the drive.

Then there are the tubing torque wrenches, again, not adjustable but if they were it would be great for barrel nuts.
