Harbor Freight now has long stemmed rattle-renches that will put out
1400 ft.-lbs for about $160. One inch drive, too. Takes mucho air. 12-20
cfm at 90-125 psi. Also sells 1 inch drive sockets ranging from 1" to 2"
(plus the 13/16" square one)for $53, currently. These take away all the
'fun' in changing wheels. They can also make your life miserable, if you
installed the lug nuts to max torque and have to try to remove them by
hand. Spec torque on a 5T is 450-500 ft.-lb. Of course, Santa has
received all my paperwork, requesting one. By the way, Harbor Freight
has 4 different models to choose from, so do check the differences. One
is an Ingersoll-Rand at $489. Ebay has a no-name for $129 (like Harbor
Freight is a name?). Jim
