[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 26468, member: 437"] I just want add to your rant a little. Impact wrenches should never be used to put the lugs back on. I don't know how many times I've been asked to come out on the side of the road where somebody had a flat and can't get the lugs off because the gearhead down at the local tire shop used his high torque impact to put the lugs on. Lugs should always be torqued using a torque wrench or torque limiting device. Everytime I have tires put on a vehicle I come home and loosen and retorque the lugs properly and if thats done you should never have a problem with even the cheap impacts to taking them off.
