I ALWAYS use a torque wrench torquing to 100 ft/lb and that really isn't all that much. I was taking the wheels off. They had been on since last October so it's not like they were be rusted solid or anything like that. Any shop that starts using an impact gun on anything isn't going to get my business. A torque wrench doesn't take a brain surgeon to use and you know exactly where you are at. Guessing doesn't do it for me, especially on critical stuff. Around tire shops and such, I don't know the last time that I have seen anyone using a torque wrench or those torque limiting extensions which are colour coded.
