I was being Facisious (spelling?) I quite familiar with marking fasteners. Athough if you could develop a pen that torques a bolt when you mark it.............:cool: $$$$$$$$

It's a bugger that you can't get metric/imperial torque marking pens, but at the cost, it's cheap enough to get one of each.

My person favorite is when take the time to write "bolts not torqued", in the time they take to do that they could just torque the bolt.
Bolts should be in and torqued or not it at all....
Another way is to sing to your bolts /// this avoids having to have a converstion (torquing)Quote:

Of course we always had flags on things like 'No Oil', and I used to install an R clip and flag through the fire bomb button so no numpty could discharge it accidentally (IOW, so I wouldn't discharge it accidentally :D)
