Shuffster,
I guess I didn't make myself clear, this is not intended to change tires on the road, it's only for use at home for maintenance issues. I stated I could carry it on the rig as opposed...

That's a very, very generous offer, I'm darn near tempted to drive from So CAL just to eat the BBQ!!:bow:

Mr_D,
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. You say, your gun went past "150 ft lbs" of torque right? But, did you use it on breaking 450 ft lb torque lug nuts on a Diesel rig and did...

wa8xym,

Mr_D,
