Wrench + Jack

[roadpilot]

Without hesitation, get this from Harbor Freight.

I have used this set A LOT for several years with my Dewalt DCF891 (the MOST powerful mid-torque gun) without a single failure.

Lifetime warranty. Great price, even better if you wait for a coupon.

Always use a good torque wrench when installing nuts and bolts. It's OK to use an impact if you know it's set to a lower torque amount than what the final number is, then finish by hand.

The Harbor Freight heavy duty scissor jack with with or without a puck is low cost and decent. I replaced my worn out, rusted, 2003 GT factory jack with one and it seemed fine the one time I used it. https://www.harborfreight.com/1-1-2-half-ton-scissor-jack-66907.html

Agreed. Using the impact to spin off lugs is one thing but putting them back on I would prefer to avoid popping studs or worse. Spin a few threads and then tighten and torque by hand.

All good. I'll just need to find something comprable here in Canada.

Yeah I've been watching reviews on the VEVOR 1/2" drive SAE and METRIC set that I was looking at before.

VEVOR 1/2" Drive Impact Socket Set, 65 Piece Socket Set SAE 3/8" to 1-1/4" and Metric 10-24mm, 6 Point Cr-V Alloy Steel for Auto Repair, Easy-to-Read Size Markings, Rugged Construction, Storage Case : Amazon.ca: Tools & Home Improvement

This guy put it through it's paces and couldn't break 'em so maybe they are a decent value for what my need would be.

@MCS, I have a handful of Vevor products, and I'm reasonably satisfied with all of them.

I have their rolling seat/ detail cart... I think you recommended it!

Maybe I am the crazy one, but I have never in my old ass life not used a torque wrench on my lugs.

And my lug nuts are 21mm or 13/16 torqued to 150 lbft

I have that as well. Probably did ...

They have a 14" cold cut saw (for steel/iron/aluminum/etc.) that I want. Great reviews and not a bad price.
