Default Nope, never heard of it. (more)

Saw a big banner at end of Sears Hardware building about Labor Day sale. Asked if there was a discount on the wrench or if sale had started yet.

Guy said wrench was 21% off. I never checked the math tho'

Yes, it's 17mm. If you check the 2 pics I posted the lugnut is stuck inside the socket in the one pic. Only wish it was a 6-point socket instead of 12. Putting 90 ft-lbs on seems a lot for all those little edges.

Btw, not too crazy about all the clicking the torque wrench does when turning the dial at the handle. I've used plenty of torque wrenches and none of them had that feature. Oh well.

I use 30, 60, then 90 ft-lb settings instead of going all for 90 at once. So clicking it will be.

10% off sounds cool, but any requirements? First born or something?

Anyone picking this up--recommend getting 6" extension. (near knuckle-busting as is)
