    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to EmminoDaGreat again.

    I've put literally thousands of axle nuts on with an impact, and never have had one **** up, or fail. There is a torque spec for everything, but some things just aren't necessary. While you're over there trying to keep the wheel from turning, and the car from rolling while torquing it by hand, I'm buzzing mine on with the impact, and cleaning up my tools!

    i have it sorta tight, put the wheel on, let the car down, pull up the e-brake... i have big ass center caps on it.. i pop the center cap off, torque it down, and i'm done.. i'm not nuts about tq. specs for everything.. like i'm not gonna ask what's the tq. spec for some random 10mm somewhere.. so it doesn't take long at all.. i get what you are saying, some things you really don't need it for, and on my personal car, i tight the nut down a whole lot, and that's fine w/ me.. but this is for someone else, and i have courtesy to take extra steps in doing better work on someone else's car...

    you know what. i don't give a FU CK.. i'm never gonna work at a dealership, and i don't want too.. that's why i work on my own stuff, and i'm sure it's fine like that, but i do things my way.
