So, I have been working on my truck myself

I should note, I've never used a torque wrench in the wheels and never seen anyone use one. I've used antiseieze and various aerosol oils. Just give em 4 or 5 ugaduggas with the 1 inch gun

 

IFYou must use a 1 inch on lugs- Be careful, 1 uga buga-Not 4 or 5. Then chexck torque- 500 ft pounds is not a whole lot....Unless you wanna start replacing studs

 

The Milwaukee 1800 ft lbs 1-inch drive is much more expensive. It’s going for $670 on Amazon. The 3/4” and 1/2” drives are in the $200s. Interestingly, the bigger the drive, the more torque, but they all do at least 1400 ft lbs when removing nuts.

 

I'm guessing $670 is without the battery, tool only.

 

That’s right. Milwaukee is known for selling just the tool. I guess they do that because their batteries can be used on many different tools.

 

When I bought mine, both the maximum they had on half in and 3/4 in was 1100 pounds and that is only in reverse, basically the same gun with a different anvil. The one inch has come out since then, and I think a higher output 3/4 too.
I keep the 3/4 in the truck, but use my 1 in air gun anytime I am at home. I also tighten them down, past the recommended torque, have never checked them later on and have been doing it this way since the hub piloted wheels came out to start with, with zero issues.

 

And? I still read that as 450-500.

 

This is the statement I was referring too.

 

So my mind was off that night a few weeks ago. Ever make an error? Do you want my blessing off of 550-600 or do you want more reaction with link posted because for the hell of it. Dam some of you or seriously bored

 

Ha I guess my reading comprehension sucks. I thought you said you'd never seen any torque value stamped on a lug. I missed what you actually said.
