Long Torque Wrench Makes Wheel Swaps Easy

[Kandiru]

This year I go the 29" Taiwanese Craftsman 1/2" 50-250 ft/lb torque wrench and had an easy job torquing to 129ft/lb with the seasonal
wheel/tire change compared to my old Neiko 20".

Last year I got QuickJacks, two years ago the Milwaukee M12 stubby impact (superglued direction to counter-clockwise) and 30ft/lb ratchet
(superglued a 1/2" adapter as the 1/2" ratchets cost x3 more) to apply lugs before tightening without breaking fingers off. Got rubber sleeves
for both so I can throw them on the driveway concrete.

I learn slowly but i am getting there after 15 years of seasonal swaps for entire household.

It's 10-150. Maybe that's why this one is cheaper

Only 18" long means will require much more effort as the law of the lever still applies.
