Those little screws areput inby hand but the heat from the rotors causes them to seize up and we always use impacts for wheels because we are trying to save time so jackass stuck upmother fers stop complaining it is taking 15 minutes to do an oil change/ air filter and tire rotation. and I aswell as most of the techs at my shop use torque sticks which are fairly accurate. but impacts are very usefull when doing major work. IT's not like we use them on spark plugs and shit like that.

^You've never had to take a breaker bar to a set of lugs apparently.

Torque sticks are not the rule, your the exception.

Actually I've had to hang from a breaker bar before to try and loosen lug nuts, And you know I'm a fairly big guy (bigger then)

Then you should know what Im talking about.. Your lug nuts should never require a breaker bar to get off.
