Torque sticks are garbage, with a high quality impact on max,the torque sticks beat the snot out of the lug nuts.
Most torque wrenches are good for 1,000 clicks. Then need calibrating. i have 2, the recently calibrated one i use to check the more frequently used one.
Sorry, this is off topic,or is it?
35 years in the business, i have seen more than your avereage person. Some pretty stuck wheel nuts. For your average human, when it comes to wheel nuts, tighter is better!
