Jim,
Torque sticks:
A pre-stressed socket type device that has a specific diameter shaft that is used on an impact wrench for tightening lug nuts (available in many size/torque combinations). They are actaully quite accurate (within 1 lb +/-). After about 2000 uses, they have a tendancy to "twist apart" which is what they are designed to do. Makes brake jobs, tire rotations, balancing jobs a LOT quicker. We usually double check them once a week, by checking the lugs just torqued with a torque wrench, just to make sure they are still within spec.

When your doing 4 brake jobs and 3-4 30, 60, 120K services in a day, it truely is a godsend!
