FAQ

How much torque do I need for lug nuts?
Many lug nuts loosen well within common cordless tool ranges, but heavily torqued or rusted nuts need more power. Check your vehicle's specs.
Do I need impact sockets?
Yes. Use impact-rated sockets, since standard chrome sockets can crack under an impact wrench's hammering action.
Should I use an impact wrench to tighten lug nuts?
Use it to spin them on, then finish with a torque wrench to the correct value. Overtightening can warp rotors or damage studs.
