Frequently Asked Questions
How do these torque extensions prevent over-tightening?
Each extension is precision-machined to flex when its specific torque limit is reached during lug nut installation. When this happens, the extension automatically bends and absorbs excess force from the impact wrench, preventing further tightening and protecting wheels, studs, and rotors from damage.
Do these require calibration like traditional torque wrenches?
No calibration is ever needed with these extensions. They contain no moving parts, springs, or mechanisms that can drift out of specification over time. Each extension maintains its designated torque limit permanently throughout years of professional use without any maintenance requirements or downtime for recalibration services.
What torque values are included in this 5-piece set?
The complete set includes five precisely calibrated extensions covering the most common automotive torque requirements. Each extension is color-coded for quick identification: yellow 65 ft-lbs, blue 80 ft-lbs, gray 100 ft-lbs, white 120 ft-lbs, and aqua 140 ft-lbs. This range covers typical passenger vehicles and light trucks for versatile professional use.
Can these be used with any 1/2-inch impact wrench?
Yes, these extensions feature standard 1/2-inch male and female drive ends that work with all pneumatic and electric impact wrenches in that size. Simply insert the extension between your impact wrench and socket with no settings or adjustments needed. The universal design ensures compatibility across different brands and models for professional shops.
How do these compare to click-style torque wrenches?
Click-style torque wrenches require manual operation and periodic calibration to maintain accuracy, creating workflow interruptions and calibration downtime. These extensions work automatically with your existing impact tools and never need adjustment or recalibration, making them significantly faster and more efficient for high-volume tire service work while eliminating calibration costs.
