Valve stem nuts

[Fat Rat]

I was simply saying that locking two nuts together on the same thread is common in mechanical engineering. I didn't say I do it on my valve caps, merely that I understand the principal.
You disagreed with me.

Over 40 working in mechanical engineering has given me an understanding of how things work. I've also learned it's pointless to argue with people that don't understand.
So to restore some harmony I'll agree with what ever you say.

To be fair if you had read my post it was purely about valve caps nothing else

At no point did I say using double nuts was a waste of time in any other application (if not a bit out dated these days)
As you don’t know what I do for a living you also can’t flame my knowledge in the field and to add to that I’m also not getting into a pissing competition with you about who knows the most,
So let’s leave it as a miscommunication and get on with life

I agree a miscommunication.
I will say I use a double locknut every day when setting depths on my drilling machine also use a double nut setting the workpiece position on my laser welder, saying that I'm also out of date.
Let's not worry about it, in 100 years we'll all be dead and forgotten , ( a lot sooner in my case )
