I've been using a torque wrench since last summer because I bought a new set of lug nuts, but before that I've never used one.

Without a torque wrench, I tend to over tighten the lug nuts...I'm sure this applies to most people. Up to you whether you want to buy one!

yeah I think I'm gunna pick it up pretty soon. Now I just gotta find myself a better floor jack to replace the current one. I'm looking ahead, and in the future I plan to have a lowered car. What jacks would you guys recommend for cars that are lowered?

i just use a basic beam torque wrench for my wheels. don't need to worry about calibration. you can get one for under $15

might pickup the mastercraft maximum torque wrench though

heard good things about the torin low profile ones. i believe they sell them at walmart for ~50-60 bucks.

there's better ones out there but they'll cost you 100+

or just use ramps/2x4

for $50-60 it might be worth it. Most jacks I see are over $100 anyways.

I'm going to need a new low profile jack too. even with my car on 2x4's in the front, my jack still hits the bottom of my front lip.
Whats a good place to find this Torin jack in vancouver?

StealthFighter 03-02-2010 01:43 PM
^check walmart. the walmart in the US has them for 10 bucks cheaper than vancouver though.

iirc, it was this one.
