wrench size for Cat 1 pins?

I am. I use a good 1/2" impact wrench and hold until all progress stops. On an implement that has high inherent vibration, like a bushog with trees, handwrenching is not enuf. You get movement at the joint and periodic retightening becomes necessary. If you joints are stable when tightened with an open end wrench you just are using your implement hard enuf. X

Oh now that is just plain ole cheating! You aren't allowed to use POWER tools!

Mark your calendar, Larry. We are in complete agreement.

Well will admit never did know my own strength as they say,when I put a wrench on something,and throw my 265 lbs into it a little,things get tight.
Torgue wrench for me is just so I don't strip threads off/out.

I like this I am in aggreement with all of the above
Like greenmule put a wrench in the arms of a 280lb guy most things never get loose

now after saying that !!!!! after 30 yrs of fixing most anything and everything if I could reasonable mount a compressor on my lil toy Id have air tools with all the time lol

Power tools man's way of making up for aging I once thought air tools were the way old men work now that I are one they sure are nice now if only I could have figured out a way to make a power driven 3 ft pipe wrench most of my body might still be in good shape
