Thats cool... can you post where you got it from? The torque wrnech I use now is old and crappy.

I bought one of these when I bought my wheels:

Its a speed wrench, makes getting the lugs off MUCH faster and easier. I paid $20 for mine from a local Discount Tire. With this and that torque wrench I'll be in lug heaven.

 

The 2 bars screw into the side and become handles, then you just spin it and off comes the lug.

Its a link, lock it down if ya want. But Tim doesn't sell these.

 

that's sweet, specially for $30.00.

Yeah that's why I didn't post where I got it. If you bring up the properties of the picture, you'll figure it out.

 

I think i might have to look into getting one of these. For some reason i thought they were more expensive.

Working on fog light bracket. It's gonna look nice.

I'm trying to paint my engine cover, just the insert piece that covers the intake manifold, to match the silver on my car.

 

Hey Neil, whenever you feel like painting something , give me a holler.

 

Does anyone know how much force should we apply on our TL, like how mnay lb/ft on each lug? Thanks...

 

80 lb/ft

Oh, for even speedier removal of lugs, I use a 14.4v cordless drill with a 19mm socket. To tighten and loosen the lugs, I use a torque wrench.

How would you go about finding the lbs of torque to apply? I have a 1st gen CL so...? Thanks!!

 

I wonder if a $29 torque wrench is too cheap. I wonder if it is any good? Whos makes the gorilla brand?

 

Just got it today in the mail. Very heavy, works well. Hell for $30 if it lasts me a year or two, I'll be happy.

 

I just ordered one this morning too. And the speed wrench. Thanks guys.

Anyways..so do all car wheels just go 80lbs of torque?

 

Why not go down to your local Home Depot and get a Husky one for $54?? Lifetime warranty

Sorry for barging into this discussion. I do not have an Acura - I am not in that tax bracket yet...

I am provide tech support for www.codymercantile.com , the we b site that Nate has listed in an earlier post in this thread. While Cody Mercantile does carry a number of fine and useful tools for your garage, shop and garden...it apparantly does not carry the torque wrench anymore.

I have noticed a number of you have used the link to access the Cody Mercantile site and have therfore encountered an error.

My apologies for the inconvenience and happy driving to all!

 

Wow, that is some tech support! Funny how the image to it still works.
