Swollen Ford Lug nuts

   / Swollen Ford Lug nuts #83  
They allow you to use your impact driver with no danger of over torquing. No strong arm work for this old man.
I see. I have a bunch of nice torque wrenches but it may be nice just to "whiz" lugs on with an air gun.

I use a Makita impact w/auto stop that can be set anywhere from 'Stop at first 'impact' (~ 10ft/lbs) , to full on 'try to snap it off' (~450+ft/lbs). Usually run them up on the low setting, then again at the next higher when the tires are on the ground (~60lbs), then final torque by hand.
