At the risk of, well, at the risk of something. The last time a wheel came off my car is when you used it at the 'Ring and it came loose and broke the studs! I don't use a torque wrench on them.

Nor do I use one of the popular nut runners on the kart wheel nuts. After the last race I discovered a loose wheel nut. That wheel had been fixed on by a friend with a nut runner, not me with my wheel brace!
