This is why you should use a torque wrench on your wheels!

ill be purchasing a torque wrench tommorrow

I need a new one, my old one (apparently) is just a big breaker bar now. I saw a nifty digital one in sears, on sale for 199. Too rich for my blood atm, but that's probably what I'll buy next.

I just got a new Craftsman TQ wrench, it wasn't the digital but it has numbers that show up in a little window, MUCH easier to read than the twist style. It was a 3/8 so I was only like $100. Watch for them to go on sale.

Now for wheels, I just use the cheep Harbor Freight wrenches (and Mike uses them (mine) to roll his fenders). Who cares if the lugs are 1% difference in torque.

A friend of mine just got a new Snap On 1/2" tq wrench, digital and it counts out degrees (like when you have a bolt that says torque to 50ft lbs then turn 180*). It was $800....
