It slips at about what I would guess to be 3 inch pounds like intended.

I actually think it's really cool that Nasa lists a website for you to give them 3D printing and design tips on that site.

I am surprised that they are using inch-pounds. Wouldn't Nasa have converted 100% to metric by now? It is the INTERNATIONAL space station after all, nobody else will know how to use the wrench

Here's what's on the inside, if you're curious.
