What is used to properly torque lug nuts? A typical torque wrench?

 

what else would you use to properly torque anything?

 

Sears has good ones - they make a long one that has served me over two seasons of track visits and changing tires...

The cheap $20 ones can break - I had one explode in my face while mounting DRs at the Kansas City strip. Really. I'm glad I wear glasses.......

 

thanks grey! i'll go check out sears.

 

The Craftsman stuff you get at Sears has a lifetime warranty too, so if you break it ever, you can just take it back and get a new one, no questions asked.

 

If I recall correctly the manual calls for like 74-80lb/ft or so (from memory). I don't use a torque wrench on mine anymore, I do it so often just know how much force it takes to get it right.
