Hi All,
Just about to swap my Morso blades for freshly sharpened ones.
I seem to recall someone (I believe it was Prospero) saying that the bolts should not be over-tightened.
How tight should they be? I know that - in the absence of a torque wrench - it’s tricky to describe. Would hand-tight be about right (meaning not bringing any body weight or arm strength to bear)?
My Morso didn’t come with a wrench, and initially I bought a long-handled one. But I have since got hold of a genuine Morso wrench (thinking I won’t be more prone to going too tight with it)
Ta in advance.
Paul

Bloody tight, never buys a round down the pub
I tighten my up with the wrench , then give it a couple of taps with my panel pin hammer (only hitting it with the wooden shaft, not the head of the hammer)

Re: How tight is your Morso?
The wrench that comes with the Morso is designed like a crude torque wrench in that it's normally not possible
to over-tighten with it. If you used a socket with a longer handle you are risking shearing the bolts and replacements
are not cheap.
