33 John used to joke that 28 Nate shouldn't be allowed to use a headset press because he'd mushroom the shit out of the headtube. If tight is good then overtight must be better kind of thing. Gorilla tight. Nate kept a fleet of cars running but John was not confident in his bike mechanic skills.

https://www.parktool.com/parts?query=CRP-1 that there is one of the best $300 bottle openers you can buy. there were a couple of these tools at Bike Works and the jaws or blades (see diagram replacement part #9) would get trashed surprisingly fast as this tool got used by a variety of mechanics and occasional volunteers who occupied various spots along the bike mechanic spectrum of experience and giveashits
