Not really. Exactly what you need if you're doing it right.

Also, if you ever have had a mechanic work on your car and use an impact on the tire, it often is too tight. You'll need that breaker bar to get it off. Sometimes more than just it sadly in my experience. Hopefully you have a better luck than me.

Exactly. I just do not trust these guys with these impact guns. All because someone is getting paid to work on your car, does not make them a good mechanic. Especially at these big box places. These are jobs. I do my own work when and where I can. This will be a good deal if I didn't have all of these tools myself. I would like to sockets just to have them in another location, but I'll need the other stuff... Still that wouldn't stop me from getting it the phone think about it too long

I keep a 1/2" breaker bar and one of those generic lug nut sets from HF in each of my cars. Pays for itself the first time you use it or help somebody who is stranded. So much easier to use than the emergency stuff that comes with the car.

I do the same thing... Keep it on me in my truck box.

They should be using the torque limiting extensions with those impacts. They are really interesting in how they work. Those extensions flex and twist at the desired torque level to prevent over torqueing.

Thats not totally true... good mechanics often use torque rated "speed sticks." They're probably using Snapon or Matco in many shops, but you can actually buy them at Harbor Freight as well.

Also, TU... that's a great deal on the GW torque wrench, alone.

Exactly. And you don't need to be anal about the rating...going 10 or even 20 ftlbs over on a lug nut is bot the end of the world, but half a second of impacting w/o a torque limiter with today's tools can easily go "nuts".

I have a torque wrench for about 7 years. They they good for a while or should be replaced every x years? I use it several times a year to switch out the summer and winter wheels.

Lol bit of an excessive array of equipment just to turn a lug nut

I have a breaker bar in my truck that I would have never bought except for some stubborn lugs in a pretty crappy situation. Luckily was within walking distance of a hardware store.

The click-type wrenches like the one here are fine as long as you store them at their lowest setting. If the spring inside is compressed for too long, it weakens to the point where the wrench is no longer accurate. If you're using it for lug nuts it really shouldn't be a problem if you lose a little bit of accuracy.

They should also be calibrated occasionally. Pretty simple, really.

Had those bolts stretch and break while on the freeway because those type of mechanics didn't use a torque wrench. Luckily I was paying attention and able to pull over.

I'll never go to a place where I don't see them using torque wrenches on lug nuts

Quote from karazi :
I have no idea what a mechanic does to take a tire off, but would much prefer if they would use hand tools. I've never had to use a breaker bar to take off a lug nut, to me that would indicate the nut was on FAR too tight, and would most likely end up marring the lug nut or taking the lug post clean off the hub, if they are attached. A simple ratchet, and one socket from a collection you already have, should do the trick. You don't buy this set to take off lug nuts, you buy it if you need other stuff from it I guess. Or just don't buy it because it's marketed to make it seem like you need all this to take off or put on a wheel. For the record I've never used a torque wrench when putting a lug nut on, that's kind of silly. Like using a GPS to get to the nearby corner bodega.

You'll be surprised with the mechanics who have used impact guns to put on oil pan bolts and things like that. Severely overcue. The thing is about over tightening a log on tires that you can break the bolt off at the rotor... Seen it

"Tire Changing Set" - I'd love to see someone change a tire with this, that requires serious skill. I could swap a wheel with it, but that's about it.

I'd say most of the cookie cutters tire places use impact wrenches....unfortunately.
