Best torque multiplier I've used

[Barn Owl]

My brother is a full-time owner/operator trucker. A while back I sent him the link to this and he bought one and loves it. I don't see where you could go wrong if you bought one.

Torquing nuts on is simple, stand on a bar the number of feet from the nut x your weight that gives the required torque.

Such as; torque of 400 lb-ft = 200lb guy two feet from nut!!

Or, torque divided by weight gives distance in feet.

My wife will need a 6 foot breaker bar

The one I broke was a 9:1 model and I sheared the 3/4" output nose right off it.  Then I broke the 3' breaker bar with the pipe.  Then I borrowed the next door neighbours air wrench and started turning up my compressor...  Sometimes the nuts are just on tight...

I have the blue 58:1 model and even though I've needed it only a few times it works as advertised.

Seems like a great tool. However, correct me if I'm wrong but, it can't be used for anything else other than lug nuts, can it?

I'd like a multiplier than I can use on suspension and engine parts as well, and I guess I'll have to stay with regular bar type multiplier. Also want to get a good 3/4" impact one day. Can't use a 1", as they won't fit on anything other than lugs.

Roy,

It depends. You can use it anywhere there is a place to put the arm that holds the multiplier body from turning, but it has to be really sturdy for any high torque situations.
