    I can confirm that Rave specifies 140Nm.

    Never thought of carrying a torque wrench to do up wheel nuts, I just nip them up by hand and never had a problem, i don't think road side assist or tyre places would even use a torque wrench. More tools to carry in the bush also when changing a flat.

    Always use a tension wrench as that's the habit of the best part of a lifetime.
    I had to use one professionally several lifetimes ago so still do.
    But I am anal......Wheel nuts.

    I just stand on the wheel brace, then they're tight.

    Can strip heads.

    I like mine to be as tight as the tyre lever can make them, but still able to be undone with the lever.

    The owner of my tyre shop told me he had threatened to sack any staff who used a rattlegun to do up wheelnuts.
