Re: [RE-wrenches] S5! question

Jay, It should go without saying, but don't forget a dab of thread lube on all the set screws, especially if you are using an impact or drill on them. I've had several S5! set screws gall when thread lube was forgotten. benn DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. www.daystarsolar.ca * Ph: 780-906-7807
