A lot of mechanics don't understand the concept of "torque"...
They think the tighter is better, not true.

True and agree! Many people don't pay attention or thought high school Physics was not important. I didn't think so and though the teacher was not likeable either he was very good and made it interesting so gave him respect and credit for that. Having a basic and foundational understanding any sciences including life sciences is helpful and beneficial to yourself and others, but 0's and 1's is where all the people think the money is at and for many money and possession is everything so no other subject matters. Also, lots of people just follow procedures and methodology but don't have a clue to the minutia of why.

A friend and mechanic told me when he started working on cars his angle of approach to tire removal and torquing with a bar was so off he had no leverage. I laughed because it was so off it was funny.

Use to break a lot of bolts and stripped a lot nuts. The Chinese call it "Stupid Strength" for someone who has no idea how to use utilize their strength and energy wisely and procisely.

I find I’m breaking a lot less stuff using solid breakers to move rusty stuff. I think I can feel the difference when the fastener starts to yield and the threads beginning to move, and stop before they break, apply heat. Cycle , PBBlast, try again

I got all four bleeders out on the famous Vermont field car this way, promptly replaced with new ones

I needed “my smarts” to get wheel bearing housing bolts out yesterday. Applying heat to the bolt heads didn’t work. Had to apply heat to the threads on the outer face of the bearing where the threads grabbed the housing.

My smarts were being held in my companions brain m that day.

I once took a several week long course on Bolting and Fasteners. The problem with bolting is the primary goal is to get the proper amount of squeeze between the parts fastened to hold them together under the working loads. This means stretching the bolt enough to clamp the parts together without failure. In an ideal situation, we would directly measure the stretch by checking the change in length of the bolt. On some critical aerospace applications this is done.
Here in the crude real world, we use the applied torque or torque and turn measurements to estimate how much the bolt has stretched. It is not as accurate because of friction in the threads, friction under the head or nut, and differences in the bolt material. However it is cheaper, easier, and when done in the proper manner it works fine.

Reminded me when my friend told me after taking all the electronics class for an AA he took the Materials elective class. After not seeing him for over 20 years bumped into him at Costco. Visiting his shop while explaining some of the electronics in the car he looked at me and said you don't remember any of this do you . He had well put everything he had learned into use!

Volvo offered him a job right out of college in the late 80's.

Whatever you choose, both are very very good tools...
- The Assenmacher requires a 21-mm socket/wrench...

Do you know when you purchased this tool if the packaging mentioned anything about 22mm socket?

I don't know if this tool has since been updated because it says 22 mm

21mm and 22mm both have 7/8" equivalent.
