For the phone he pulled the old 'and heres one assembled earlier (and not by him I noted). I've got one of those fancy split screwdrivers too so that might make me a geek, yes I'm sure it does. Why this week I bought a rolling tool chest (machine mart -VAT free offer) to house some of my overflowing tool collection, I have a desk job so these are all hobby things!
I like boring bloke stuff as much as anybody but the way he pretended to put it all together....
He said it took him 37 minutes or something to fit the valves, train and tappets but we never actually saw it and for somebody who is supposed to be a motor whizz he was quite surprised when the gudgeon pin didn't slip right in as he explained to us even though anybody who has worked on engines knows they usually have to be tapped in.
Also that socket on a screwdriver thing would never have got enough torque to do up some of those bolts IMO.
Wouldn't have hurt to put some oil in the sump before he started it too.
I daresay there will be a bit of criticism over his skills at putting a Strat together too!

I may be biased, I did my first strat rebuild at 14

To be fair, I know Strats inside out and back to front - as I'm sure many of us do - but May presumably didn't? For a casual viewer, I'm sure they'd have gained some understanding of how a Strat works, by watching the show.

Totally correct way to string split post tuners
