How does it work? Does it slide over the stock wrench... I'm going staggard so will how will this benefit me sya when taking the rims off with the thin walled socket?
Also, Is 21mm the size i need to put the wheels on? I'm about to but this stuff in the next few days... As far as torque wrenches goes I guess I'll try advanced auto and sears.... Any other suggestions....
BtW........ thanks e-man

I use four different torque wrenches, depending on the task... Two in inch pounds and two in foot pounds. They are very accurate when stored unloaded and set prior to usage. A 1/4 inch drive Utica Torque Limiting screwdriver (TS30) ,1-30in lbs. 3/8 inch drive Snap-on Torqmeter (TE12A),1-150in lbs. 3/8 inch drive ratchet swivel-head Snap-on Click Torque wrench (QJFR275D), 5-75ft lbs. 1/2 inch drive ratchet Utica Click Torque wrench (TCI-150FRD), 30-150ft lbs I am very pleased with all these units, all made in USA..

Here's mine. Snap-on part# tech3fr250.
Digital read-out (lb, kg and nm) and vibrates when you get to the specified torque because i can't hear squat in a noisy place. 15 degree flex head ratchet makes it easier to turn the thing without gouging out a fender.
I also have a 19mm/21mm flip socket (19 on one end, 21 on the other) in my hand to do most Japanese cars.

What do you guys think of the "torque sticks" that most tire shops use with their impact socket wrenches? Good enough, or should I be demanding hand-torqued despite their protests?
