[quote user="BaltACD"]If you don't need torque, what do you need - a spike puller?[/quote] The men walking the track in Germany had a large wrench. I think you can hear from the sound if a screw is loose or broken when you hit it with the wrench. But these people haven't worked with nothing else than rail fasteners with lag screws. Today the work of is done by exclusivly by geometry cars. When anomalies are found a track gang is sent. The were tests in the USA too that a number of missing fasterners doesn't lead to too much gauge widening in 1986: <a href="http://www.rta.org/assets/docs/ComprehensiveRail/sec12/missing%20fasteners%20vs.%20gage%20strength.pdf">www.rta.org/assets/docs/ComprehensiveRail/sec12/missing%20fasteners%20vs.%20gage%20strength.pdf</a> Other tests described the gauge strength of different systems: <a href="http://www.rta.org/assets/docs/ComprehensiveRail/sec5/gage%20widening%20strength.pdf">http://www.rta.org/assets/docs/ComprehensiveRail/sec5/gage%20widening%20strength.pdf</a> Regards, Volker
