Had a 10mm deep socket the other day with a 1/4" socket size. Couldn’t find a 3/8", so I found an old adapter and when loosening the 5th bolt on my intake manifold, got the old “hmm… that shit is moving to free to fast”
Thankfully a small screwdriver could poke the 1/4" adapter piece stuck in the socket out, so I can live to make the same mistake another day.
I’ll try “Whats a torque spec?” for $500 Alex
I discovered with much annoyance that torque spec can break old bolts, and old is a relative statement, the truck was from the 90s.

Where do y’all find this elusive “Torque Spec”?
Even if I could afford a $100 click wrench. Where am I gonna lookup random bolt on whatever the hell I’m repairing?
Usually depends on the size of the screw
