I work at a car garage on my summers and holidays off from college. My hometown is one of those really small backwoods types... I mean, blink on the interstate and you miss it
Point is, our garage has these cool things that are called Torx sticks (sp? Maybe they are spelled stix for the brand name, I don't remember) but anyways, these beauties attach to an air gun... they have different shaft thicknesses connecting the lug wrench and lug socket together. No matter how high you crank the air pressure, you can hammer on the gun all day and not exceed torque specs for whichever wheels you are working on because the shafts act like a torsion bar after a certain torque has been reached. I did this to my car while on the lift and hammered the air gun for a good minute on each nut and verified with an actual torque wrench. It torqued within one foot pound of the reading on the stick. I was amazed, but I don't see many tire shops having them. I wonder why not.....
