STEELMAN JS-50091A Steelman 1/2-Inch Drive Blue 80 ft-lb Torque Extension

Q: How does this torque extension prevent over-tightening? A: The extension is engineered with chrome molybdenum steel that flexes precisely when 80 ft-lbs of torque is reached, absorbing additional impacts from your impact wrench instead of continuing to tighten. This mechanical action prevents damage to wheel studs, brake rotors, and wheels during lug nut installation.
