No torque wrench should be used for loosening. I don't care what Stahlwille claims,I want them to show a test with the calibration of their torque wrench when used in reverse for a long time. If it's still within spec then they can claim whatever they want,until then : DO NOT USE ANY TORQUE WRENCH FOR LOOSENING!
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.

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.
