Why the bleep don't tire service center use torque sticks. My WalMarts did before they shut down for the virus. Ed
"Cold weld setting" that's funny!I feel your pain. A certain chain that sounds like "tired stoned" once tightened my lugs to the point where I had to struggle to get them off with a 4-way lug wrench. No way could I have removed them with the stubby factory wrench that came with the car. I was so ticked I was about ready to drive back, give the stubby factory wrench to one of their guys and demand they remove the lugs using only the factory wrench.
Now I always check them after I buy tires, but since I started buying tires from the local chain I've found they usually don't have their wrenches at the "cold weld" setting.
I trust no-one. I re-torque mine as soon as I get it home.
Another reason why I rotate my own tires.
