I have the Precision Instruments kit & love it, whilst removing the wheel nut requires considerable force, re-torquing it back up was really easy (Set to 450 lb/ft), is this generally what others are experiencing too as it really took less physical force than expected.

It all depends how long the arm is. My wrench (Beta) is like 120cm long and it is pain in the back to do all 4 corners.

If you have a 3-foot long handle, then you would have to rest 150 pounds on the end of the handle (when it is parallel to the ground) to achieve 450 ft-lbs. Or 450 pounds if it is only a 1 foot long handle, etc...

Other than having a long handle, the other way to make high torque values easier to achieve is with a torque multiplier attachment (has internal gears).
