KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Accurate Torque Control: The kit includes preset torque wrenches and torque limiting extensions, ensuring that lug nuts are tightened to the precise specifications (65, 80, 100, 120, and 140 ft/lbs), which is crucial for safety and preventing overtightening or undertightening.
• Wheel Protection: Specially designed mag wheel impact sockets feature a protective sleeve, safeguarding high-end aluminum and chrome-plated wheels from scratches and damage during use.
• Certified Precision: Each torque wrench is individually tested and comes with a certificate of calibration, offering assurance of accuracy and reliability in every application.
• Enhanced Organization & Efficiency: Color-coded components allow for quick identification of the correct tool, minimizing setup time and reducing the chance of selecting the wrong size or torque setting.
• Professional Grade Construction: Crafted from hardened Chrome Vanadium steel, all tools in the kit are built to withstand the rigors of professional use, offering long-lasting performance and dependability.
• Comfortable Handling: The lightweight design combined with ergonomic comfort grips reduces user fatigue during extended periods of use.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Drive Size: 1/2″
• Torque Values Included: 65, 80, 100, 120, 140 ft/lbs (for both preset torque wrenches and torque limiting extensions)
• Included Components:
• 5 preset torque wrenches
• 5 torque limiting extensions
• 5 sleeved, color-coded mag wheel power sockets (e.g., 17mm, 19mm/¾”, 21mm, 13/16″, 22mm)
• Storage case

HOW TO USE:

1. Select the Correct Socket: Identify the correct size mag wheel impact socket for your vehicle’s lug nuts. Ensure the socket’s protective sleeve is intact.
2. Attach to Impact Wrench: Securely attach the selected mag wheel impact socket to your 1/2″ drive impact wrench.
3. Choose Torque Limiting Extension: Select the appropriate color-coded torque limiting extension that matches the required torque specification for your vehicle’s lug nuts. Refer to your vehicle’s service manual for the correct torque value.
4. Connect Extension to Impact Wrench/Socket: Insert the torque limiting extension between the impact wrench and the mag wheel impact socket.
5. Apply Torque: Using your impact wrench, carefully tighten the lug nuts. The torque limiting extension will flex to prevent overtightening once the preset torque value is reached.
6. Final Check with Torque Wrench (Optional but Recommended): For critical applications, you may use one of the included preset torque wrenches to double-check the final torque on each lug nut, ensuring precise and safe installation.
7. Store Tools: After use, clean the tools and return them to the provided storage case for protection and organization.
