torque wrench near IAD?

N8N · 03-12-2014, 09:00 PM

I had a moment of dumbass... I've been helping a friend out with his shop as he's short on mechanics (I have entertaining stories if you care to hear them) and as a result all my tools are in the 'hood about 50 miles away. I was going to change to my summer set of wheels/tires tomorrow however I forgot to grab tools and as a result all three of my torque wrenches are a long drive away. If anyone is near IAD and has a torque wrench and a lug nut socket that I could borrow for an hour or so you'd really be helping a brother out. I'm in Sterling right near the Safeway. Otherwise now that it's suddenly decided not to be winter anymore I'll probably have to park my car until Sunday 'cause I'm still on Blizzaks. Can't offer much compensation other than fair to middling bourbon and semi-entertaining stories about my impersonating a professional mechanic for the last while, but if that works for you you'll be my hero.

Hey man, I have a tire wrench but not a torque wrench and have a standard lug nut socket. If that works for you, let me know. I'll PM you my #.

Back down to mid 30s tomorrow - but I'm with you Nate, can't wait to get my summers back on.

tman, got your PM and Eugene, it's actually *19* degrees here... and I was working at my friend's shop with doors open and a short sleeved shirt yesterday!

If you're in the Merrifield area, you can stop by and swap in my garage. I'll be running my Blizzaks for another couple weeks probably.

nah, after going outside I'm going to hold off until the weekend, and I'll be going back to the shop on Saturday. I was thinking that after the past few days winter might be over, but apparently I was wrong. I really appreciate the offer though.
