    Craftsman micro torque wrench $26 off. Now $48. 9/16 to 9/18
    I would consider something else.
    These do not have lifetime warranty, Husky@HD,and HF ones do. I have both and the Husky is better in 1/2" drive size due to 250

    I take it as long as they are well fitted, they should be pretty solid. I doubt FWW would publish something that's shaky.

      I think Scorrpio has it right, take care with the angles and should be ok. Don't forget you also have "B" fitting between the legs and "C". That may add some stability as well. Of course if you're still nervous - you could whack down a 4x4

        Use Gorilla Glue (be sure to lightly wet one surface before assembly), clamp it up tight (the glue expands as it cures). It you do it right, the wood will break before the joint does.
        ...eight, nine, TEN! Yep! Still got all my fingers!

          The legs should be fine if the joints are tight and you use a good glue.

            Glue? Not a torque wrench and a 9/16 ths bolt?

              Thanks...it will be awhile before I get to it. I have a DC system to install and also do a major tuneup to the TS before I do any more project.
