Sam Bell
 
 
Sam Bell   Sam Bell founded the Lusty Wrench in 1979. His puns and witticisms (in English, French, Greek, and Latin!) have been amusing customers ever since.

Sam is a Hybrid Certified, ASE-certified Advanced Level Technician. This and his many other certifications paper the walls of the Lusty Wrench office.
Sam is also a passionate educator. He is an Ohio EPA-approved and New York State DMV-approved technical trainer, teaching many popular, advanced-level, continuing education courses to professional mechanics throughout the region.
 
An avid writer, Sam is a Contributing Editor at Motor Magazine, and has authored two standalone publications: Vehicle Emissions Diagnostic Strategies and Asian Imports Diagnostic Strategies. (Available from the ATTS Training Bookstore.)
