Are there any other high torque areas on trucks in addition to lug nuts that I should be aware of? I will scan my repair manual for the values.
Ideally, I would like to buy one wrench that covers the highest torque I will run into before buying.Last edited: Feb 14, 2022

1) Any problems with break back vs click torque wrenches that you have noticed? The break back looks like a good idea.
2) Should I get a wrench that will do 20% more than the highest value I am torquing?Last edited: Feb 14, 2022

God prefers Diesels Thanks this. -
PS: I use Makita 3 5MaH wrenches, half inch on everything, I have a "meat grinder" to break the wheel nuts, what is your goal? -

I got that 3/4 drive amazon special. Seems pretty decent. I wouldn't go with anything less that 3/4 drive and longer the better

I've got a Mac 3/4" drive. About $800. Lasted about 10 years. Had to get the head rebuilt last summer and got the calibration checked. Was still in range and only cost me $300 to get fixed. Going to have it my entire career.
