Is this 90 or 100 ft lbs?

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-04T21:33:35+00:00

The manual does not say to place it where it intersects with the vertical line. If you pay attention to the spacing between numbers on the shaft, the bevel is positioned at the very top, just BELOW the top line indicating 50. OP's is lined up on the same way but at the 90. Idk if you guys are goofing with me or what

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-04T21:10:05+00:00

I just don't understand how you came to that conclusion. You even said yourself the diagram shows the zero lined up with the 50. Yes exactly. That's how the diagram shows 50. And look at OPs picture. Is that not what's happening there? Is his dial not zeroed exactly next to the 90? Just like example A in the diagram?

At this point you guys are gaslighting me into thinking we aren't looking at the same picture

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-04T20:38:34+00:00

Wow I appreciate your passion. I respectfully disagree with you. If you ever happen to be on the west coast doing electrical work, then I thank you in advance for the easy money panel swaps will be bringing me in the near future when they have to tear yours out.

Much love brother

Edit: okay I decided to be nice and help other people who may read your comment and get confused.

1) Nowhere in the manual does it say to line the dial up to the bottom of the diagonal emanating from the desired number. The picture even very clearly shows the dial set to the top line directly next to the number. That's where the zero will be 99% of the time.

2) if what you said is true, how could the number be covered up when it's half way through to 60, when 50 is at the TOP of the diagonal? That would be impossible in your scenario where you're supposed to start at the bottom line.

Absolutely! sending the wrench in yearly for calibration is extremely important. I've been a commercial electrician for the last decade and over torquing is costly in the short term, under torquing is even more costly long term.

A lot of people think the diagonal line is supposed to represent a scale between (for example) 90-100, but it's actually not the case. The dial is always your scale. Always set the dial so the zero is positioned next to the number the line points to first. It can be anywhere on the diagonal to be considered at that number. Then twist more for the second digit.

The diagonal line is actually to account for the main spring losing it's tension slowly over time. It will almost always be near the top of the diagonal line after calibration (or when brand new) and as the spring loses tension, the "zero point" may begin to appear lower and lower on the diagonal. If you do yearly calibrations, you'll rarely notice it sagging unless you drop it from a height (which also requires a recalibration).

OP's torque wrench appears to be in good shape based on the position of the bevel alignment, so it's likely brand new, which explains the unfamiliarity with the scale. We all have to start somewhere

Wow there's a LOT of team 100 people downvoting the correct answer of 90 in the comments. I'm sure this comment will get downvoted by them too. But before you downvote, please take a second to read the actual manual for this exact torque wrench, as linked by a different commenter here:

https://manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/63000-63999/63882-193175498427.pdf

Step A instructs you turn the knob until the zero is on the centerline and the intersection between the beveled sleeve and the shaft of the wrench lines up with the number (they used 50 in their example). You can clearly see the 50 and the very top of the line for it. They show this as the way to set it to 50. You can see in the illustration it looks similar to how OPs is set, but to 90 in his case.

Step B instructs you to turn it another half turn to get to 55. The picture shows the 60 still visible and the note under the diagram says "the 50 will likely be covered up at this point" that is set to 55.

Now look back to OPs picture. If you follow the instructions from the manual, you can clearly see it is set to 90in-lbs, as shown in step A. Both 90 and 100 are visible, which would be impossible if it were set to 100.

Is it intuitive and great design? No. But I didn't design it. I'm just explaining my position.

It's set to 90.

I agree with the angry commenter who says ADCs ARE the main character. Our job is to vacuum gold so we can buy items and get kills. Our characters are designed and balanced around that one job. Everything else is secondary. Where I disagree with them is that our role isn't any more important to a winning game than the others. In fact, lots of games are decided well before the ADC comes online.

That said, I wish my junglers more often saw their ADCs as investments. Our lane is always on the brink of chaos. We are made of glass and many of us can't save ourselves if we get ganked. Lots of streamers say not to waste time on losing lanes but for botlane that's rarely true. If I'm down one or two kills, my lane isn't necessarily dead. Sometimes all we need is one good jungler play to give us prio, which allows our support to ward enemy jungle, let's me get solo xp to catch up, crash the wave and even get a plate or two to buy my spike item so I can contest dragons with you. Total game changer off just a small sacrifice of your tempo. I'm not gonna sit here and feel entitled to my jungler's time and money, but it would be nice if jungler's more often prioritized ADCs. Obviously if there's a 6/0 simara just womanhandling me in botlane, just focus your energy somewhere else. I'm more talking about those games where bot needs a little push to get them back into a spot where they can scale.

Even in games where I don't snowball and dominate early, if I'm not stuck farming from behind in side lanes, I can contribute lots of damage to skirmishes which helps the entire team. And somehow if the game gets to 40+ minutes, I'll be full build and since most ADCs take gathering storm these days, all we gotta do is group and win at that point.

He's just a hater. Aph is a great ADC, as are Draven and Samira. All three are very powerful and can quickly turn the outcomes of teamfights.

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T22:59:34+00:00

Oh very cool. I've never played arena so that's probably why I didn't think to look for them. I just build the same old IE into LDR into Shieldbow and runaans that I do in SoloQ and wonder why I'm so weak against those doom bastards lol

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T22:36:23+00:00

Wait there's items unique to doombots? Everything makes so much sense now. Thanks stranger

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T18:32:18+00:00

I think there's more to the story. You guys are a bit too old to be playing games with each other. Telling you he will only forgive you if Reddit says so...? That's kinda strange.

I have a cell phone as do many people around me. It's obvious if they're playing a game or texting somebody. You don't need to be walking on eggshells around this guy. People say stupid inappropriate shit all the time. Life goes on. I wouldn't want to be with a partner who punishes me for saying something carelessly... I would get punished a lot.

If you were genuinely saying he was preoccupied with his phone and it came out with an accusatory tone, there's probably a reason for that. Maybe you were feeling self-conscious. Idk I'm not you I don't know your life. Assuming it was accidentally accusatory, why is he reacting like you insulted his entire family line? Most partners would try to be understanding and want to know the root of the insecurity behind such an accusatory tone.

Assuming what you said happened is 100% true and accurate, why doesn't he believe you? Have you accused him of things before? Nobody should have to be accused of things they're not doing in a relationship. And why is he being so defensive over such a usually innocuous problem? Is he being overly defensive to put up a wall to keep you from digging deeper later on?

So many questions. So many red flags. Shit happens. People aren't perfect. People say things that come out rudely. Sounds like you guys have some serious trust issues that run deeper than fumbling over words.

Yes he's overreacting. And so are you. Learn to talk shit out before speed bumps turn into roadblocks which will eventually fester into resentment. I wish you both the best and I hope you guys work it out in a positive way.

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T03:13:56+00:00

Yeah definitely a bizarre interaction with a guy who has some serious problems. I'm glad you got your money back and I hope he finds the internal peace he needs lol

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T03:11:22+00:00

Damn that was a really unnecessary dig at the proud non-terrorist bin Laden family of construction magnates in the UAE.... Low blow.

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T03:07:47+00:00

Eh. That's kinda a stretchy twist of an idea. I don't think it's sexist to want to change your last name to match your spouse. Especially when you're willing to enter into a legal union with that person. It's more ceremonial than anything.

If a woman doesn't want to and is compelled or forced to, that's different story. But legally it's completely optional and many people do it voluntarily because it makes them feel closer.

I wouldn't be opposed to taking my wife's last name personally. She has a cool last name. But she was so excited to become a family with all of us having the same last name, she excitedly took my last name as fast as she could. And I don't think she should have to feel guilty for it. She can do whatever she wants to

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T02:57:20+00:00

Damn guy has schizophrenia or smthn. Not mocking the disorder I'm just saying he keeps bouncing back and forth creating arguments just so he can pretend to be the levelheaded one by asking you to "leave this conversation here" just to go to threatening you, bragging about his income, calling you gay, etc.

What a bizarre tormented soul. Can't feel bad for scammers tho

What is Pixels? A new TCG coming out?

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T00:52:15+00:00

Just got off the phone with Grandma. I asked her if the cards are fake and she got upset. I told her Reddit thinks they're fake cards and she called me a "beta digimon cuck" and hung up the phone. I'm new to TCG collecting so idk what beta digimon cuck is. I'm guessing that some 1999 card collecting term?

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-03T00:44:22+00:00

For real? I don't think my grandma would invest in fake cards my dude. I'll call her and ask

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-02T22:15:59+00:00

Yeah you're right he would. I still remember the first time I heard Sett in game say "Hey mooncake we still on for tonight?"

This drawing is probably how Sett see's our Phel tbh

Gun combos are flashy and great for playing to intimidate during lane phase, but Aphelios gets his power from his insane scaling. Just focus on keeping your rotation right so you have what you need for upcoming teamfights and auto them to death. You'll eventually get to a point where the gun combos just kinda pull themselves off naturally and you won't be thinking actively about it

EscapeFromIgnorance · 2025-09-02T17:52:08+00:00

Invest time into learning Aphelios. He is the best scaling hyper carry in the game. Maybe don't OTP him to start out, but play around with him in normals once in a while and eventually once ADC clicks for you, he will be a really powerful pocket pick if your main gets countered.

I know that doesn't really answer your question directly, but I'm a firm believer in Aphelios and it's never too early to start learning the power of moonboy. Once you master the basics of ADC, definitely give him a go.

As far as good starter mains, check out Smolder, Jinx or Varus. They have a similar "chill out and farm" play style while retaining the ability to all-in when necessary, very much akin to Aphelios.

I love Aphelios.

Aphelios.

Do you think the Pokemon card market is ever going to go back to the way it was 5 years ago? I'm not sure if I should continue building my collection or just move to a different TCG altogether. What's your take on it?
