New Product: Ultra-Torque Assembly Lube From ARPBy Brian Lohnes Posted 02/2/2010

ARP has been an industry leader in the fastener business for ages and their assembly lube is used far and wide. The company has raised the bar on themselves with their new Ultra-Torque lube that they claim will get the user within 5 percent of the required preload on the first twist of the torque wrench.
