Default looks great. alittle different from CHs. make sure you also get a breaker bar so you don't

use the torque wrench to remove the lugs...only use the torque to put them on...you'll ruin the wrench.

Default i believe if you remove your wheels with the torque, it will whack it out of alignment

so to speak. better to just tighten with it and not use it as a breaker bar.

Default Or worse.. But I made sure all the parts ended up in the bottom of the pond lest Dad find out.

It was in my early days and you could say we had a dramatic failure. I do believe there was a pipe on the end of the wrench at the time and the regular 1/2" ratchet was already busted on the same nut. As far as I knew back then a Breaker bar was where African American's went to drink and dance funny. ;-)

Default Well, I guess they were planning on selling more than one set...>

Actually, you kind of beat me to them. I'd been thinking about CH's for a very long time but they were a bit heavy for me; then found these, but more than I wanted to pay, then YOU picked yours up, and I was glad to see them on silver - was curious how they'd look, and had about given up and was ready to pull the trigger on some used 19" LM's (which I still drool over, but again, a bit on the heavy side by the time you get tires on) AND THEN tire rack had these on a closeout deal at a price competitive with the CH's, so what the heck. And that's the story - "good choice" on your part though. ;-)
