I QUIT using impact guns on lug nuts and my wheels THANK me.

Stopped stripping threads and saved a ton on repairs.

Okay but real talk, how many wheels did YOU murder before switching? I turned my first set into metal spaghetti because I got trigger-happy with the impact gun. Now I just use a torque wrench and my bank account isn't constantly crying. It's a painful lesson but hey, at least we learned before the wheels fell off, right?

Honestly @mila_craig4, what torque setting finally worked for you?
