[AT] Lug Nuts

[ATIS]

Something else I have noticed:  tire shops are generally careful with torque on lug nuts on cars.   I can usually get them loose with no trouble.  But if they get their hands on your trailer/tractor or whatever they whip out the impact wrench and just wail on them.  Not sure why they aren't as careful.

You may have been the victim of a tire technician with more impact wrench than brains.   (-;

Right rear trailer tire shed its tread a few miles before we got home from Gadsden show couple weeks ago; that was lucky because I can not see the rear axle tires. Anyhow, could not get any lug nuts loose using “X” lug wrench; had to use the pneumatic power drill.  So, just a reminder to anyone who hasn’t had to use hand lug wrench in years. Herb(GA)
