    Have these been discussed? I pretty much only need to torque my wheels. I don't have need for a calibrated torque wrench. Screenshot_20180122-170011.jpg

    I've always been intrigued by torque sticks. I've watched a youtube video on them and it seems that they only work with more powerful impacts.

    For my factory wheels, I'm happy with close enough.

    I'd be more concerned with the proper lug nut torque on disks.

    Not very accurate at all, really how could they be. I just run the lugs down with the impact and then torque with a proper torque wrench.

    I bought a hydraulic press. It worked almost long enough to do the job. Boo. If harbor freight made an airplane would you fly in it?

    Yes. But I'd rather put money into my taco.

    I have a HF 20 ton press I bought around 28 years ago. The seals eventually went bad on the bottle jack, but the press is still in use.

    Ok, I'm Curious. How many feet long was the pipe you used on the tool?

    WOW
