Lug nuts over torqued
#21
Even back when I worked at a 'real gas station" in the 70's......the owner made us show him we could feel the correct torque using a star wrench....he would have killed us if we even thought about using a pneumatic!!!!! Going back to when I was "little" my dad had me soo well trained I could then and still to this day, torque lugs to 90lbs on our cars with a star wrench......my neighbor insisted I couldn't be possibly right....so he pulled out my tq wrench....each not on each wheel was within 2 lbs of 90 lbs......
IMHO, it is simple unconscionable to rely on any "gimmick type tool" such as torque sticks, etc. when in the same amount of time, you can do it right the 1st time...with a tq wrench
