Thread: Grrrr!

Same on my County - I suspect in fact identical! And yes, a wonderful idea!

Whenever I go to a tyre place now I ask what they torque the nuts to. If they do know I ask them to do it to my specified torque. If they don't know I ask them to tighten by hand and then I recheck with the torque wrench at home.

I did some experiments with both battery operated and air impact wrenches at home and found it very difficult to achieve uniform torque settings on wheel nuts.
