The last mechanic I went to torqued these to hell…what are the chances he also tightened my spark plugs this much?
Never again…my other mechanic never overtorqued things this much.

Dropping a steel wrench on a concrete floor can cause a spark. Why would you shop have flammable liquids without proper storage?
Air tools are cheaper. The spark issue is bullshit.
Our shop had 4 massive 500 gallon proper steel tanks to store most of our common fluids, stored down in the pit. There isn’t a single dry spot of pavement in the pit, there’s always a thin layer of oil on the floor, and top side floor was coated with rubber tread grip, so hard pressed to have a dropped tool generate a spark either in the pit or top side.
The air tools thing was mostly about powering the pumps on those massive tanks, plus the occasional customer that comes in for an oil change but doesn’t know they have a fuel leak…
