...I'm still gonma want something faster than the torque multiplier, for spinning them on and off after they're broken loose. What is the tool of choice there? Star wrench? Flex-head breaker bar? Sliding T-handle breaker bar? Ratchet?

Thanks, Elijah...

Yeah. I'm probably not gonna be using a torque wrench set to 500 pounds to do the final torque. I've been torquing lug nuts by feel for decades- but I've always done it with a breaker bar, not a torque multiplier. So are you using the torque multiplier to try to torque them by feel, or are you...

Wow. Okay. So do I just calculate the correct torque based upon the gear ratio of the torque multiplier?

For tightening them up afterwards...

The kit came with 32mm and 33mm sockets. Any input on what works best for a breaker bar? Do you prefer sliding T-handle, or flex head? For this much torque, I'm assuming that I'm gonna need a cheater bar too...

Lug nut breaker-looser kit showed up today...

I like that!

Elijah, I just ordered one off ebay that looks just like that, but it has two sockets- a 33mm and a 32mm. $37.

Yeah, that's not happening...

What size socket am I going to be using on the lug nuts? My Snap-On stuff from when I was a technician, doesn't go that big.

I really appreciate the information sharing, with you guys getting me up to speed. I am beginning to see that I am going to be making a lot of trips to Harbor Freight...

What specifically is/are your favorite lug nut tool(s) to carry with you in the MTVR for roadside use, and why? I'm visualizing socket, breaker bar, and cheater bar, but would an air or electric impact wrench be a better solution on something of this size?
