Correct torque for wheel lug nuts?

[AuPanda]

With a thin-wall 21mm socket, right?

Once I get the truck next week

I have had one of these 33:1 torque multipliers for years in my XLT. I think I will need it even more in the Raptor. It ain't Snap-on, but on the other hand it's only 25 bucks <G>.

Seems to me that'd be a nice-to-have but not a must-have as I can't imagine it's that hard to break the lug nuts loose with a decent lever (like the Gorilla product). However, if it's only 25 bucks then that's a horse of a different color.

Where's that for sale online?

Just follow the Tiny URL link Dan, it will take you right to the Harbor Freight page for the tool. It comes in a nice zipper bag, I toss it under the seat and forget about it. Until someone can't break a lug nut loose... then it is a life-saver.

Looks like you could use it wind up the rubber band they put inside the "engine compartment" of the Toyota Priuses :mrgreen:

I know they got hamsters, guinea pigs or gerbils inside the Kia Soul - hell, I've seen that on TV! :mrgreen:

LOL... with 33:1 torque multiplication I am afraid you would tweak your hamster. :mrgreen:
