Lock Technology Orange 160ft/lbs 1/2" Drive Torque Extension (1400BB)

The Lock Technology Orange 160ft/lbs 1/2" Drive Torque Extension (1400BB) is an indispensable tool designed for precise and safe wheel installation on most foreign and domestic cars and light trucks. This specialized torque stick limits the output of an impact wrench to a specific torque value, ensuring that wheel nuts are tightened to the correct specification without the risk of over-torquing. Over-torquing can lead to stretched wheel studs, damaged lug nuts, and cracked or warped wheels. This product is engineered to prevent these issues, providing a consistent and accurate result every time. Its design is especially beneficial for vehicles with tight clearances around the wheel nuts, as it eliminates the risk of scraping or scratching the wheel's surface.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Consistent Torque Output: Calibrated to stop tightening once the wheel nut reaches 160 ft-lbs, ensuring precision and consistency for every lug nut. Eliminates guesswork and potential errors common with manual tightening.
• Prevents Damage: Controls torque to protect against stripped threads, stretched studs, and wheel damage. Compatible with thin-wall or regular lug nut sockets to avoid scratches on wheels with tight tolerances.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Streamlines tightening by providing quick, reliable, and uniform torque application with an impact wrench, saving time and effort during service.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Model Number: 1400BB
• Drive Size: 1/2 inch
• Torque Rating: 160 ft-lbs (215 Nm)
• Color: Orange
• Included in product: One (1) Lock Technology Orange 160 ft/lbs 1/2" Drive Torque Extension (1400BB)

HOW TO USE:

1. Connect the Tool: Attach the torque extension to a 1/2" drive impact wrench.
2. Add the Socket: Secure the appropriate lug nut socket (thin-wall or regular) to the other end of the extension.
3. Position the Socket: Place it over the wheel nut and begin tightening with the impact wrench.
4. Allow Flex Action: Continue until the torque stick flexes and stops transferring power at 160 ft-lbs.
5. Verify Torque: Use a calibrated torque wrench for a final check to confirm proper tightening.
