Most of the time, everyone uses their electric impact to tighten down the wheels. I keep my torque wrench with me. I think that's a whole lot better than being lazy and not doing it the opposite way. Sorry that had to happen

The tungsten based torque sticks do have flaws. First, don't drop them, or it's basicly ruined. Next off, they're not as efficient as using a "cruddy [torque] wrench". You basicly have to turn the gun down to the lowest setting to get it somewhere near the torque range. My snap on torque wrench has a spin dial that can be set within a couple of seconds and is very accurate. No errors, nor over torqing. But to each is own, I say.
