A free, or very expensive doughnut, depending on how you look at it.

What's better than freeing up space?
Filling it back again
I'm now the proud owner of this 3/4" Gedore Rahsol Dremometer torque wrench in the 140-760Nm range
Seriously I don't need something like that often but after having had to count every single Nm over the maximum torque on my half inch to get the remaining 30 needed to reach 240 and correctly torque the axles on my little Punto.
I wanted something capable of higher torques.
Said that it'll be much easier to torque something using this one than using my half inch.
As it has a longer lever.
Example 180Nm on the 1/2" will be around 30kg of applied force at the handle.
While on this something like 22kg.
And for someone skinny like me it's an huge difference

Well done for remembering to get the food shop while you were there!
Agreed. I may use it on my surface grinder for a similar purpose.
Have gotten increasingly fed up of my black hole tool bag so I bought a tool roll:
10 minutes after unwrapping it, everything is neat and tidy and I know where it is. A total of 5 capacious pouches and 2 smaller ones that easily hold a full set of tools, and no more fumbling around in the black hole (oo-err):
And it takes up less than half the space that the tool bag did:

Spent most of the day catching on much needed sleep.
But a mad friend just left.
They found this lot.
A VERY sharp Bill hook.
Late 1940's early 50's folding wire cutters.
Cable stripper.

To do hub nuts I have a mark on my breaker bar and I know if I lean all my 80kg on the bar at that point it is the correct torque.
Just convert your weight to newtons and do some maths to get your distance.

I can even do the math on the threads to find the angle needed
Your method is easier

I hope you've built the shelving in its final resting place. There will be a lot of swearing if you have to move it.

It's final place as it's the only location that allows me to store things and park the toolbox in front of it without interfering with the benches or movements inside the small shop.
I'll swap tools positions on it once I finally get the cabinet inside.
Cause I have a smaller one Wich contains instruments, threading tools and drill bits in it and a drill press on top.
The taller one will contain tools and consumables.
The shelf will be mostly for useful things I don't use or I'm keeping for a specific job which is not going see the end very soon

Is that food compatible?
