Torque Converter for lug nuts on 5Tons and Deuces
Ok guys this is an easy one. I have a standard issue torque converter for the duals.
can some one point to a manual telling me how to use this thing properly. I'm pretty strong and I don't want to break this thing....

Aww C'mon,
Buy her an impact wrench for Valentines day.
Nothing says "LOVE" like a new power tool.

RE: Torque Converter for lug nuts on 5Tons and Deuces
I just read that PS word for word and think I found a mistake. A 1-1/2" wrench fits all of my lugs. Yet, the article says 1-5/8". Good advice on using that thing too. They are great when used correctly, but will snap an arm or your chin with ease if you aren't carefull.

RE: Torque Converter for lug nuts on 5Tons and Deuces
Thanks guys,
One more question. The article appears to refer to two different sized handles that go with that set. Is that right?
If so, I think I have the thinner handle that came with the standard lug tool, but not the larger one.
Does anyone know the length of the larger one. I am assuming that the diameter is just slightly smaller than the larger hole.

RE: Torque Converter for lug nuts on 5Tons and Deuces
I have never had the proper handles for mine either. I just use a 2' long 1/2" rod in both holes and it works great.

RE: Torque Converter for lug nuts on 5Tons and Deuces
The two handles (large and small) are exactly the same length and one slides into the other if needed.
