P.S. Also,if you own a mechanical torque wrench that uses any sort of spring for calibration,do not store it in any compressed position no matter what they claim! Always store it in the relaxed position so that the spring mechanism doesn't create its own " memory " and throwing off the torque next time you use it.
The design of the Stahlwille puts zero load on the delicate torque measuring mechanism. It’s safe - I’ve been doing it for decades and confirmed that it’s still in calibration at a local lab.

From what I'm reading here there is positive feedback on the nutcracker torque multiplier. Do we have any first 'real' reviews out?

thx.

It's been just dixonk so far. From what I exchange with other early adopters, we could have 2-3 more reviews over the weekend.

I’ve used mine multiple times now. It’s legit. I don’t find removing the centerlocks anymore difficult than 5 lugs now. I’ll be bringing the tool along for a big group drive out to Colorado next week. The case is really nice for this type of scenario as well. The price is so reasonable that one can then take all the savings and splurge on a really nice torque wrench and still come out ahead.

Thank you for this. It's on my list. I now just have to find a reasonable, well built, travel jack.
