Frequently Asked Questions
How does this torque extension prevent over-tightening?
The extension shaft flexes when 140 ft-lb is reached, absorbing additional impact force and stopping further tightening. This protects wheel studs from stretching and brake rotors from warping, common problems when lug nuts are over-tightened with standard impact tools in high-volume shops.
What vehicles work best with the 140 ft-lb torque setting?
This torque extension is ideal for full-size trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles that typically require 120-140 ft-lb wheel torque specifications. Most passenger cars use lower torque values, while heavy commercial trucks may need higher settings available in the complete Steelman torque stick set.
How does this compare to adjustable torque wrenches?
Unlike torque wrenches requiring manual settings and slower operation, this extension provides automatic torque limiting with impact tools. This makes wheel installations significantly faster in high-volume shops where techs need consistent results without stopping to adjust torque settings between different vehicle types and wheel specifications.
Does this torque extension require calibration over time?
No calibration needed. The chrome molybdenum steel construction maintains consistent 140 ft-lb accuracy without adjustments or moving parts to maintain. Unlike click-type torque wrenches that drift over time, this extension delivers the same torque limiting performance throughout its lifetime with proper use and storage.
Can this extension handle continuous professional use?
Yes, the chrome molybdenum steel construction withstands repeated impacts from pneumatic and electric impact tools in demanding shop conditions. The material resists fatigue and maintains its flex properties even after thousands of wheel installations, making it suitable for busy tire shops and fleet maintenance operations.
