    if you have never used a torques stick before, all i can say is that when the bar comes up to "about" 475 lbs, it'll sorta "give" a bit, meaning your reached max torque.

    torque sticks work great, "up to" the torque value, but are NEVER as accurate as a real torque wrench

    i had both, a torque wrench(es) and sticks when i was a wrench turner, and both have thier uses.

    Torque sticks help prevent excessive torque when running the lugs down with an impact, but they are no substitute for a torque wrench.
