I am not sure, but you could use the 140 ft lbs that the set comes with and then use a torque wrench to get it to 165 ft lbs.
There is a 500 ft. lb. force on mine
Most every day, I use this with a air impact gun that can deliver 1250 lbs of force.
Different impact wrenches have varying powers, so they will never be exactly the same. As well as playing around with the power setting on your gun, you'll want to check behind it with a torque wrench to get a sense of where to adjust the power of your impact gun.

I take wheels off and put them back on cars and trucks all the time. My craftsman torque wrench has ALWAYS been accurate at setting lug nuts to the right torque every single time. However, setting a torque wrench to 140 ft lbs, torqueing all four wheels, and then resetting the torque wrench to the minimum capacity is extremely tedious. A guy who works in the bay directly across from mine told me about a cheap set of torque sticks Ares had It seemed like a reasonable idea to try them out. Aside from being well packaged in a nice plastic case, every stick is clearly marked, but most importantly they are This is the first time I have used In order to verify accuracy, I still walked around the vehicle with my torque wrench. Despite the 140 ft lbs stick being dead on, it was still a good strike. A few rotations later, I checked it again and found that it was still The device will most likely be checked every 10 vehicles or so to ensure it remains accurate. I have already saved a bunch of time. And it is worth the cost. With general motors, lug nuts are almost always set to either 100 ft lb, or 140 ft lb. It's not uncommon to see 125s, but there aren't many. I am dropping my review from 5 stars to 2 stars after putting the 140 stick to work last week. Just as the lug nut became snug, the stick shattered.
It's common for wheel bolts to be overtightened when an impact gun is used, which can damage parts like brake rotors. There is an advertisement for this torque stick that claims to limit torque to 100lbs It was already known that the actual end torque would be about 10 ft before I purchased The weight on my car is 15 pounds lower and it needs 88 pounds *After tightening wheel nuts with both the impact gun and this Ares torque limiting extension, I found the torque to be 85lb-ft on my wheel nuts. After 5) you will finish at 88lbs- With my torque wrench, I can apply torque up to 5 ft. I find this product to be pretty accurate for my needs, but keep in mind it's not meant to be a perfectly accurate tool. It's intended to limit torque when using high torque devices like Impact guns. And it does this job well, while ensuring Furthermore, it helps reduce the risk of sockets breaking when used with an impact, as it lowers the chances of them breaking even if you're using a non-impact rated socket. However, that is definitely not excluded.
The torque stick I bought for repairing a broken wheel stud after breaking a stud inspired me to buy it for a peace of mind when gunning tires. All in all this torque stick is good quality for the money and well worth the purchase. My personal opinion is not to use this as an alternative to torque wheels, but rather to ensure that you aren't overtorquing them. And you should also use a torque wrench to check them.
The impact gun I have used with it has helped me not scratch paint on the rims of my vehicle, when I use it for the tires. So far, it has been very effective for me. The material seems to be of very high quality, as far as I can tell. Naturally, I use it for personal use and not in a mechanic shop that deals with peels on a regular basis.
My impact usually over tightens them by ten percent. This is a 15-foot-high building If you measure them with a torque wrench, take a baseline and check if they are over the rating.
Despite Milwaukee midtorque still overpowering it even at setting 2, it works well with a low power air impact. I wouldn't call it terrible, but I certainly wouldn't call it perfect. It is usually just a matter of setting your gun to 2 and it will be between 70-80 You can trigger a gun with between 50 and 100 ftlb depending on the air pressure (or voltage for electric guns) and how long you hold the.
I am very satisfied with it. The torque wrench I used to check its accuracy was a separate one. The exam was a huge success. They come in a very nice box which I will probably It seems like overkill to use this case.
It would be so much easier if I was an autocrosser and had this. With wheels that can be swapped quickly, I always know that the torque is correct without excessively torque them Increasing the tension.
