Apparently you can use a torque stick of a pre-set value to control the rattle gun's torque.
My quick search did not find one of 176NM or 130 lbft but I'm sure that one could be found?

They look like this..

Rattle gun on is a no no from me. If I was the law all rattle guns would be one setting and one setting only ‘off’

Torque wrenches aren’t mad expensive and most anybody in here will be able to put 200nm of force through one. So rattle gunning things on to 176 or so is crazy.

Imo.

I do like those torque sticks tho.
