How to use a torque limiting socket / extension. 

Finally somebody that shows how this is done correctly, not hammering at the lugnut long after it bottomed out potentially changing the final torque setting.🏆👍

Awesome video, great thorough demonstration. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Straight to the point! Been thinking about picking up a set of torque limiting extensions, just didn't know how they worked. I just subscribed and I'll go checkout your other videos.

lol, gotta love that added xylophone bonus action ! thanks for another great class Prof Steve, sincerely appreciate your insight !! (p.s. > since i am all about the controversy, just have to say that personally i absolutely love me some xylophone, and more cowbell too for that matter !!)

Great video 👌

It's funny how a half second of xylophone explains how they work. Good video

Torque Test Channel has slow motion testing. They say a battery powered impact can overtorque because of the extra hits per second. Torque wrench is recommended. It's all in the twist.

There's some dumb comments toward the bottom of this section. If you get familiar with these torque sockets AND your impact, then you do not have to follow with a torque wrench. You have to be sure that you are familiar and comfortable with that, but they do work within parameters that you can establish

But I don't understand. Whats the point of the torque wrench. For example, if you use 100ft-lb torque limiting socket, the impact gun applied that torque to the lug nut, then what's the point of thr torque wrench then.

How much lower should the torque stick be than the final torque specification ? Wouldn't you just use the lowest stick because you're only snugging the lugs down ? If you are using a patterned stepped torque sequence, the wrench would be used to finish the job anyway.

So what makes it limit the torque ? How does it work?

I was going to help you out by ordering that torque wrench through your store but after 15 minutes of searching, I never found it and gave up. Maybe just post the link to the particular tool you use would be better than for us having to hunt for it.

You need tires, and an alignment!

Not exactly sure what was the point of these when you still had to follow with an actual torque wrench plus i didn't hear any change in the impact gun when you tightened it down to let you know when to stop

Well I learned something! I admit I am one of those who thought you could go all the way with the stick!

What if you have a really powerful impact

I was hoping the sticks would be all I needed. Rats. My torque wrench is the crappy flex beam style. I better upgrade.

that mean torque stick is not a replaement of torque wrench?

I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander 3.0 V6 can you tell me how many oxygen sensors there are

I don't understand how they work

You need new tires and an alignment, not a rotation !!

A torque stick followed by a torque wrench? That is incorrect, and a waste of time. You obviously didn't read the instructions. I've been using torque sticks only (following the instructions) for over 20 years, and never had a problem. I verify them with a torque wrench follow-up on random vehicles throughout the month. If I ever find one out of spec, I'll replace the set. I still have my original extension style, with a set of sockets I set aside just for them. They've always been in spec because I use them properly.

No need to be fancy lol. U don’t need these stupid unnecessary tools.

So I might be missing something but wtf is the point of these stupid extensions. Like why would anyone use these I don’t get it
