good post, with VERY good responses.
I also agree that a torque wrench is the proper way to tighten lug nuts on ANY vehicle.
I like the "clicker" type, but they are the more expensive.
In any case, dont treat your torque wrench like you do your cresent wrench :eek:
as mention earlier, zero it out, and store it so that it wont get bounced around :smash:

My dad just got a few torque wrenches on his snap-on truck that are electric. As you approach the setting it beeps and vibrates the handle telling you to stop. Kinda neat. :)

I can just imagine how much a vibrating Torque Wrench costs.
I wanna say it was somewhere in the high 2's or low 3 bills. But think! It can double as a present for your wife.
