for people who have air compressors and air guns for it. You can get a certain socket (god I wish I remembered the name) thats a torque stick. Basicly its like a socket but its longer and the shaft down the center becomes thin. It will twist at a certain ft/lb. My friend worked for a shop and bought a bunch of these. Very easy to use and makes puttings tires on a breeze along with always knowing they are exactly as tight as they need to be.

my brother has a set of torque sticks. they are pretty nice for what they are. they end up flexing when they get to the right torque and dont tighten anymore.

Execpt they do not work with el cheapo impacts. I have seen some only make it to 50ftlbs.

No calibrated instrument does well with high impacts like that!

Yea i know torque wrenches dont or any automotive measuring device but I dont really know how the torque sticks are constructedNo calibrated instrument does well with high impacts like that!
i just know they are a bit pricey and are awsome

Trust me, It's worth it. You can get a torque wrench for a decent price. I almost lost a wheel.
Which costs more?
