Imo.

I do like those torque sticks tho.
I'd have to agree with you Ron, but the torque sticks piqued my interest quite a while back when we used to run Winter and Summer wheels and tyres on a car, I thought they would make the bi-annual wheel changing chore a bit easier, but I didn't get round to actually buying one!
It does seem to be quite difficult to find one of just the setting that you need.. And then it will only do one thing, so you need to be using a lot of that particular torque to make it worthwhile. (Like 16 or 20 wheel nuts twice a year?)
I just wondered if anyone has any experience of them?
