How much with Air Impact Wrench to tighten lug nuts
I have a 20g air compressor and I've used a cheapo Kobalt impact wrench to rotate tires and to change brake pads etc. I've always wondered how much "oomph" to put the nuts back on with. I dont want to pull out the lugs, but I also dont want my wheels falling off. I set the wrench on low and tighten until they stop turning, then hit each one twice with 5 or 6 impacts in a star pattern.
Amy i tightening too much, not enough, or sounds about right? Whats a good way to tell? Thanks! PS> I set the tool pressure to whats specified in the manual. (I can't remember off the top of my head what that is but I look every time)
