Turbome doesn't know what he's talking about. Torque HAND wrenches are the way to go. You don't scratch the wheel, you won't loose a stud or lug. Or warp a rotor.

Come on guys, cut Turbome a break. I thought this message board was here to educate and inform others. I mean I certainly have learned some stuff here. So he might have been mistaken or confused leave him alone.

That is what I thought at first. Then I tried to explain to him exactly, short of drawing a picture and he still didn't get it. Then I figured he was just messin wit me. Then I just lost it. Normally people pick up on stuff but this time it went right over his head and I reached my breaking point!
Clearly he was thinking of some sort of impact wrench. He was just too stupid to know when to shut up. I think this quote is the most accurrate explanation. My side still hurts from laughing though!!!

oh. and if anyone needs a torque wrench and doesn't wanna fork out 100+ for one or doesn't need professional quality tools. Sears has a needle style one that costs, i think, 30 dollars. it does the job.

all i can say is when i got my car I notriced they had scratched my wheels when they put them on. DOn't know what type of wrench they used but it ____es me off that they are scratched.
#34
i prefer the snap on ones, with the lock on the small **** that adjusts the tourque. yes they are much more expensive, but as everything in life is you get what you pay for

He got mixed up on torque wrench and impact wrench. Big deal. I used to have those torque sticks when I worked in a garage. We were told "the bigger the car the bigger the stick" but never really told much more than that. I always used one, but never knew if it was the right one and then, I'd take an old valve stem and scratch the crap out of their rims anyway. MFrs, thinking they're better than I.
