when I walked into Sears last night I answered the question that the kid at the register asked me, which was "can I help you find what you are looking for today?" Usually I say no thanks because I don't enjoy idle chitchat with strangers but I didn't know where the item was so I made the mistake of telling him.
"Sure" i say, "I'm looking for a set of calipers" immediately he changes the look on his face and says to me "brake calipers"? like it is the first time I've ever been out of the house and I'm an idiot looking for auto parts in sears. "No" i say "calipers, like a measuring device" he responds "for measuring brakes?" and passes me off to another kid who knows less and says somethng under his breath that I know was a rude comment about my intelligence, I start walking and the "manager" says to me "are you looking for a micrometer?" Sure I say show what you have because this all has reaffirmed my theory about talking to strangers. I follow him and he shows me a micrometer on the wall, I immediately grab a set of calipers next to the micrometer and show it to him. I explain that this device which was clearly labeled "caliper" is what I was looking for and it actually isn't designed to stop a car and that maybe the employees of the tool section should actually walk it a few times a night so that they knew what was on the shelves instead of talking to customers like they were the idiot.
The calipers looked like they might last a week and had an accuracy of about 50%, I left......very frustrated

An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
