I have never used a torque converter on my metal detector, how does the torque effect your swing, i use a natural swing myself...

Just emptying any piece of equipment will not clean out the interior 100% resulting in pollution. If you’re concerned about the water quality of our lakes and oceans, I am wondering why you would suggest that Magnet Angler use a torque converter with residual transmission fluid still in it for a boat anchor when a boat anchor can be used as a boat anchor?

boogeyman is 100% correct. What you described Tommy is a catalytic converter.
Torque converter connects the engine to automatic transmission while catalytic converter is part of the vehicles exhaust system.

Everyone knows the torque converter only gets engaged after you reach Warp speed 6!
