How strong is 15nm?
I need to tighten the screw on my CSL DD. I don't have any specific hardware, only an Allen key and my hands. How much should I tighten it?
Is it veeery stron? As much as I can?

If something calls out for anything other than finger tight or snug I would suggest using a torque wrench. Especially on expensive items that may become damaged, or items that may cause safety concerns if not tightened properly.
15 Nm would be greater than finger tight but to estimate would be careless on my part.
I found a small 0-80 Nm torque wrench at my local auto parts store for $12. You may also want to check into you local tool rental for one as well.
assuming the Allen key is 10cm long - push on the very end of it with a force of just over 15kg - that is 15 N m.
You can push on some scales to get an idea of how hard you need to push for 15 kg.
thanks!
Just tighten the fucking bolt man lol. You don't need a torque wrench ffs.
got it :)
