Q. What are the nuts and bolts of what you actually do?
A. Well, I'd say my bolts are pretty good at the moment, intermediate at least, sized M8 with a decent pitch thread of 2mm and graded at 9.8, giving them a proof load of 2380kg each. My nuts, on the other hand, are not very impressive - if lightly olied I can manage a Maximum Tightening Torque of around 7.8Nm (Newton-metres). Room for improvement! And I've noticed Anki getting rusty lately.... but overall I'd say I'm holding everything together ok, although things quickly fall apart when I start aiming for 'fluency'.

A revised: That they exist. If only one of them existed there wouldn't be a problem (apart from the holes left in some words).
