When i worked at a tire shop i always hand tourqed lug nuts with a tourqe wrench. The nicest thing about extended anvil impacts in a tire shop is being able to have a say 19mm, 21mm flip socket which would cover most cars and trucks that would come into a tire shop

My brother just got this, damn thing is strong 👍

Out of all the countless times I've been to tire shops in my life, I've literally never seen ANY tire shop use a torque wrench or torque sticks, they always just hammer the lug nuts on with the impact gun for a few seconds and call it good.

Damn thats crazy. Im in construction now but when i was first out of high school i was a tire guy at ntb and a torque wrench was mandatory. We had to sign the paperwork that we torqued the wheels and then also get another tech to sign off saying he witnessed that the wheels were torqued. We had torque sticks but no1 ever used them jus the torque wrench

I feel like the lug nut test should have been done with actual lug nuts not just standard bolts. The way in which those two different fasteners tighten down are quite different. Lug nuts use a taper to create extra friction where as a bolt is purely based on the friction in the threads

Cool. I have a 65 ft lb torque stick (ABN) which tightens to just under 76 (lug nuts) going for 3 sec. Then I finish it off with a torque wrench to 76. Any longer than 3 sec, and it goes over final torque. I over did all 20 lug nuts before I figured that out. I used an older Dewalt 1/2" drive compact impact (brushed) with 4Ah XR battery.

If that works for you, that's great. Torque wrench for final tightening is the best. Thanks for watching.

Nice video. However wouldnt it be more accurate to measure torque required to tighten farther than the point the impact let off?

Torque sticks all the way. I use a 80 on my 2767 set at speed 2 and it works great, then I come back with a torque wrench set to 100 ft-lbs and always get a slight turn from every lug I torque. So much easier than using a one key and messing around with the app, etc. Also, keep in mind all impact wrenches work different with torque sticks. Torque sticks work better with large impact wrenchs that hit hard slowly. The small impact wrenches they don't work too well as they hit light too often.

i would have bought it if you could set to what FT-lbs you want it to reach instead of it being a range it will stop at. i also dont like the extended anvil

Torque sticks were designed/tuned (material, diameter, taper and length) to work with an impact tool putting out about 600 ft-lbs. So if you're using a 900 ft-lb (forward torque) tool, your result can be very different. So if your torque sticks dont specify a TOOL rating, then make sure you're using a tool like IR-231C.

I've had the 2769 for over a year, and it is still going strong. In combination with a torque wrench, it is excellent for tire work. I have seen reviews of torque sticks that showed they can have a considerable variance from their listed specs, so I do not trust them.

@EdwardEardley

Torque sticks are +/- 10%. So using a 90 ft-lb stick will result between 80-100 ft-lb. Not perfect but much better than the huge variation you'll get using an impact gun. Want accuracy? I always use a torque wrench which is +/- 3%.

I honestly feel like the extended anvil is silly, at least in terms of the tire guy using it. Because even with the power loss of using an extension, you're still gonna have way more than enough torque to take off lug nuts, and you can take off the extension and use it like normal.

Agreed. I hate extended anvils. Make the tool awkward for anything other than flip sockets.

I was wondering more about the precicion mode. I have not been able to find anyone that show that. maybe you could make a video on that that shows what each level shows for fastening torque. I know you stated level ten is roughly around 550 but I would like to see each individual mode or if someone could give could me a calculation on each number from 1-20 thanks. Sincerely Brad

Definitely don’t rely on the One Key to set the final torque. I relied on it without coming back with a torque wrench, after I drove my car I noticed 3 lugs had come off 😖

Absolutely not, it's not meant for that. It's meant to get you in the window without over-torqueing so you can come back with a torque wrench to finish the process.

what i want to know is if that gearwrench torque wrench goes down to 5nm

I have seen tests showing no difference in final torque values between the short anvil and long anvil guns. I like the LA especially for class 8 dually wheels. I also Cary one in my personal vehicle for emergencies. The LA gun and two flip sockets cover most vehicles on the road.

The air impact was a bad demo. Torque sticks are to be calibrated to air pressure and the dial on the impact wrench. Also the faster hitting impact wrench does not give time for the spring steel torque stick to rebound properly. Can’t use a cordless impact with torque sticks. Do the test with 90 psi and a CP734 and you’ll see positive results. Technician education helps as well.

Price?

So y’all actually torque things ? 🤔

That's too small of an impact to use. My slow but hard hitting aircat stops dead in it's tracks with a torque stick. And it's within 10%. Never had one come loose, never pulled threads. I've used them for years.

Torque wrenches are for tightening, not loosening and should never be used to loosen. You will screw up your calibration.

Pigions at malwaki couldnt add screen with dial for torq limmiter so you can dial the gun from 100ftpnds Too 600 ft pounds etc They made app for nothing pure waste
