My bad habit with the torque wrench finally caught up to me
I kept leaving my torque wrench on the same setting for all jobs. I figured it was a smart way to save a few seconds. Then I snapped a bolt on a diesel pump housing. The piece vanished into the bell housing like a magic trick. Took me two hours to find it, felt like a total fool.

Disagree with @dakotab93, we ALL take shortcuts sometimes.

Learned my lesson after my own diesel pump disaster last winter!

Wait, you kept it on the same setting for everything? Tbh that’s just asking for trouble on something as finicky as a diesel pump. No wonder it finally bit you.
