Lug nut torque

[Jim Owens]

Troy,

I remember a discusion some time back about the X12 (times 12) wrench.
It's a torque multiplier that fits over the lug nut and allows
someone to loosen/tighten lugnuts with a 1/2" drive ratchet.
They're quite expensive, $795.00, but maybe cheaper than a 1" air
impact wrench. As I remember, it also allowed the use of 1/2" drive
torque wrench rather than a five foot lever to achieve the desired
torque.

Didn't see a link on this forumm, you might check on the other yahoo
wanderlodge site or google it. Portable, compact and it doesn't
require a high volume compressor (actually it doesn't require a
compressor at all).

Just another option to consider.
