Good video. I saw that before when I was shopping for sticks. it had an impactwell damn, this video explains it all, and I'm not happy with it, looks like maybe I use a 100 stick and finish it with a t wrench. just trying to figure this stuff out to have a safe result. Maybe find the sweet spot with my dewy 1/2 inch and know how fast the wheel is at 130 ft pounds or close with the stick, verify and just learn that sweet spot, likely soon as clutch breaks on the impact, and verify then trust it.

on my decision to buy them. I use a 120 ft lb on my ram then finish off with a torque wrench. So why bother with sticks if I'm using a torque wrench afterwards, I can quickly tighten my wheels before lowering knowing I didn't overtighten them and once on the ground I can quickly finish with the torque wrench. each nut typically takes 1/8 of a turn to hit proper torque rather than ratcheting a loose nut all the way down so saves some time when tightening 20 lugs.
