Lock Technology Gray 100ft/lbs 1/2" Drive Torque Extension (1400C)

The Lock Technology Gray 100ft/lbs 1/2" Drive Torque Extension (1400C) is a specialized tool designed to simplify and improve the safety of wheel installation. This torque-limiting bar is an essential component for any professional or enthusiast working on vehicle wheels. It works by absorbing excess force from an impact wrench once a pre-set torque value of 100 ft-lbs is reached. This crucial function prevents the common issue of over-tightening lug nuts, a problem that can lead to significant and costly damage. The extension is engineered to be used on a wide variety of foreign and domestic cars and light trucks, providing a consistent and accurate result on every application. Its gray color-coding allows for easy identification, making it simple to grab the correct tool for the job.
