[ALL] Nice little tool

[mdrainville@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I was at the garage yesterday to change tires on my car with aluminum wheel, and
I was afraid that the guy would install the nuts back using the impact wrench
and overtorque the wheels.
Well I was surprised. He used a special socket that doesn't torque more than
80ftlb even if you have a 200ftlb+ impact wrench.
It is made like an extension socket, one end is 1/2" square to fit the wrencn
and the othe end is the size of the nut but in between it is only a 1/4 to 3/8"
rod that flexes if the torque is over 80ftlb the same way a torque wrench works.
He said that he checked with a manual torque wrench before and it is quite
accurate!

I don't know who sells that tool and at what price either...
